THREAD: Are biotin gummies actually effective or just tasty candy?Started by MindfulMila28

Hi everyone! As a mom who's always looking for natural ways to boost my family's health, I've been curious about biotin gummies. My kids absolutely refuse to swallow pills, but they'll happily eat gummy vitamins. Has anyone here given biotin gummies to their children? I'm specifically wondering about dosage for kids aged 8-12 and whether you've noticed any real improvements in hair/nail health. Also, are there any brands you'd recommend that use clean ingredients without artificial colors?

Okay, I'll be honest - I started taking biotin gummies mainly because they taste amazing! The raspberry ones from Nature's Bounty are like candy. But here's the thing: after about 3 months, I did notice my nails were less brittle. Could be placebo, could be real. My question for the group: has anyone compared different brands taste-wise? Some are too chewy, some melt in your mouth. Also, does anyone know if the gummy form affects absorption compared to capsules?

I'm skeptical about all these supplement trends. As a mom, I've seen so many 'miracle' products come and go. Biotin gummies seem like expensive candy to me. Has anyone actually had blood work done to confirm biotin levels improved? Most people get enough biotin from eggs, nuts, and whole grains anyway. I'd rather spend that money on quality food. But I'm open to being convinced - has anyone experienced dramatic results they can attribute specifically to the gummies?

Fellow biohacker here! I've been tracking my biotin intake for 6 months using a combination of gummies and dietary sources. The key is consistency and proper dosage - most OTC gummies are underdosed for noticeable effects. I take 10,000 mcg daily (spread throughout the day) and have seen significant hair growth acceleration. Pro tip: take them with fat for better absorption. Has anyone experimented with stacking biotin with other supplements like collagen or zinc for synergistic effects?

LunarLily, that's interesting but 10,000 mcg sounds excessive! The recommended daily intake is only 30 mcg for adults. High doses can interfere with lab tests and might cause skin issues. I'm still not convinced these aren't just expensive placebos. Has anyone experienced negative side effects? Also, what about the sugar content in gummies - aren't we just trading one problem for another? I'd love to see some actual studies rather than anecdotal evidence.
