Dear JB,
My daughter was recently--just this past month--diagnosed with PCOS and has been using Biotin since January. Her regular doctor had suggested she take it along with saw palmetto and pantheonic acid (which I understand is a kind of B vitamin for stress). She is taking 5000 mg per day of the biotin, 320 mg of saw palmetto extract and I THINK 500 mg (unsure about this quantity) per day of the Pantheonic acid. I do believe the saw palmetto helped greatly and the Biotin has certainly not caused her any harm. Maybe you could ask your doctor about this and also about doing some blood tests. She too is concerned about hair problems.
You do not have to be scared. |
