Do you take biotin?

[hisno1girl]

I've been taking it for a while but now I can really taste the pills and it's making me dry heave.

any recs for biotin that doesn't have the aftertaste?

I use the Hair, Skin and Nails stuff from Costco- they're capsules.

TBH, they are a little rough on my stomach some days. The guy who cuts my hair claims his doctor told him this is common especially for men and "older" aka menopausal women. I don't take them on an empty stomach. My niece takes hers at bedtime.

Mine are also capsules and I just started getting the nasty aftertaste, no stomach issues.

I think it's helped. Ny nails are no longer splitting and peeling and I feel like I have significantly less hair loss. Also, my nails don't seem to be as brittle as before.

I'll check out the Natrol brand,

I take the Nature Made brand after dinner. I haven't noticed an aftertaste.

Do you have Costco? They have these awesome (tiny), dissolvable tablets in 5000mcg. No aftertaste at all, they're actually yummy lol.

Biotin worked great for me but I swear it was either making me gain weight or making it extremely hard to lose. I went off it and slowly started to lose again. My Mother is prediabetic and had to stop taking them because it was messing with her blood sugar. Weird.

I never had an issue with taste, mine were just the Rite Aid store brand.

They made me gain weight as well.

I buy the chewable from Costco and they aren't bad at all. Grape-ish flavor.

[noodleskooze]

I take it. I have never noticed any taste or side effects.

I take my vitamins right before bed. Otherwise I tend to get the upset stomach (and I take "gentle on the stomach" vitamins).

My nails are so strong I scratch my face a lot. Lol

I take Twinlab's Biotin Dots. They're like little berry flavored tic tacs.
