Amazon Elements Vegan Biotin 5000 mcg - Hair, Skin, Nails - 130 Capsules (4 month supply)

Finding a high-quality biotin that uses a 100% vegan capsule instead of cheap animal gelatin can be surprisingly difficult, but Amazon Elements nailed it. The capsules are compact, completely odorless, and slide down effortlessly with a single sip of water. They are entirely free of chemical binders, artificial colors, flavors, or chemical preservatives. Plus, with 130 capsules per bottle, it delivers over a 4-month supply for an incredibly budget-friendly price. A simple, premium, and no-nonsense daily supplement.

I've been taking this biotin supplement for well over a year now. When I first began, my hair was thinning in the crown area and it just wasn't growing as quickly anymore. After about 6 months, my hair was noticeably thicker and even though I was trimming it about a half inch every 2-3 months, it kept growing longer and longer. Sadly, I had a 2-month stay at a rehab for my ongoing back issues towards the end of last year, and I had no access to my biotin. I also had very few tools and products to care for my hair properly. (Ask me if I'll ever go there again). My diet was awful, so along with next to zero care and poor nutrition, I lost weight too rapidly, along with a lot of hair and muscle mass loss, resulting in saggy skin. Eeewww!!! Upon my release, I immediately made an appointment with a hairdresser, walking in terrified but resigned to losing most of my not-so-glorious mane. That was about 5 months ago. Of course I resumed my daily dose of biotin. My hair is still short, but almost back to its pre-rehab health. I do not use any special shampoos or conditioners...just a decent charcoal shampoo and a tiny dab of conditioner on the ends. (My naturally oily hair has its advantages). While I may use topical products for my skin, I believe the best remedy for hair loss and general health comes from within. So if you're struggling with thinning hair and hair loss, taking this dose of biotin is totally worth a try! Since Biotin is really just another name for Vitamin B-7, it is water soluble. I actually doubled the dose when I first came home from the rehab, since my hair was so obviously starved. It *might* alter the results of blood tests, but I just don't take it the day before I'm going for that annual exam that includes blood work. Happy hair growing!

These biotin capsules are easy to take and don’t have any noticeable taste for me. They also digested fine, and I didn’t have any issues using them. The main thing to know is that these are 5000 mcg, so if you’re specifically looking for a higher-strength biotin option, like 10,000 mcg, this may not be the one you want. Overall, they’re okay and easy to use, but I’d recommend checking the strength first to make sure it matches what you’re looking for.

This supplement has been a great addition to my routine! The Elements Vegan Biotin 5000 mcg is high quality, and I really appreciate that it’s vegan and non-GMO. The 5000mcg dosage makes it feel like you’re getting a strong, effective product. The capsules are easy to take, and I’ve been very happy with the overall quality. It’s a clean, reliable supplement that I feel good about using. Definitely one I plan to keep taking!

too hard to swallow. just gets caught in my mouth because of the plastic-like coating.
