GummyTalk Forum

Hi everyone! I'm always on the lookout for natural, vegan-friendly supplements for my family. Has anyone tried these iRestore Hair Gummy Vitamins? I'm particularly interested in the vegan biotin gummies aspect - are they truly free from animal products and artificial additives? My kids love gummies, but I want to make sure they're getting quality ingredients without any hidden nasties. Would love to hear your experiences!

OMG, I've been using these for 3 months now and they're AMAZING! The vegan biotin gummies taste like delicious berries and I've noticed my hair feels thicker and my nails are stronger. At 10000mcg of biotin, they pack a serious punch! I take two daily with breakfast and it's become my favorite morning ritual. For anyone skeptical about hair vitamins - give these a try! They're game-changers for hair growth and skin health. Plus, they're completely plant-based which aligns perfectly with my lifestyle.

I'm skeptical about these 'miracle' gummies. 10000mcg of biotin sounds excessive - isn't that way above the recommended daily intake? As a mom, I worry about giving my teenage daughter supplements that might have unintended side effects. Has anyone consulted with a healthcare professional before using these? Also, what's the sugar content like? Most gummies are loaded with sugar, which defeats the purpose of taking health supplements. I'd love to see some scientific backing before considering these.

Great questions, HealthHacker41! Biotin (Vitamin B7) at 10000mcg is indeed higher than the RDA of 30mcg, but research shows biotin is water-soluble and excess is excreted in urine. However, some studies suggest high doses might interfere with lab tests. The vegan formulation is interesting - they likely use plant-based pectin instead of gelatin. I'd recommend checking for third-party testing certifications. Has anyone experienced any digestive issues? Sometimes high-potency supplements can cause stomach discomfort. Also, what other vitamins are included in the formula?

To address the concerns: I checked the label and they use organic cane sugar, but it's only 3g per serving - much better than most gummy vitamins! I haven't experienced any digestive issues, but I always take them with food. My dermatologist actually recommended biotin supplements for my thinning hair, though she suggested starting with 5000mcg. The 10000mcg dose did seem high initially, but after researching and trying them, I've had zero negative effects. The formula also includes Vitamin C and Zinc which support collagen production!

Thanks for the detailed responses, everyone. NatureNancy, you raise valid points about lab test interference - that's concerning for people with regular blood work. EcoEllen32, I appreciate you sharing your dermatologist's input. I think I'll stick to getting biotin from whole foods like nuts and seeds for now, but I'm glad they're working for you. For those trying them, maybe start with half a gummy to assess tolerance? Always better to be cautious with supplements, especially at high potencies.
