Answers:
Yes, that's a perfectly safe dose. A common dose of Biotin is about 5,000 mcg for an adult, so taking 2-3 pills of 1,000 mcg throughout the day should be safe for you (as long as you aren't allergic to it, which is incredibly rare).
Biotin is a B vitamin, so if your body can't use that much, it will excrete it out. We have thousands of customers, not to mention the millions of people world-wide who get healthier hair, skin, and/or nails from Biotin. It won't specifically make more hair grow for most people, but the hair that does grow most commonly is stronger, thicker, and/or just generally healthier. But remember, it's for the hair that is growing now, not the hair that's already gone (same with the skin and nails), so it can take a few months to even notice the first fruits of the benefits of it. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

You shouldn't be taking Biotin. What they say on the bottle is mostly a scam. You would be better off taking a daily multivitamin but the best way to get stronger hair and fingernails is to eat a more vegetarian diet.Health Question & Answer
