Wow 5000 mcg of biotin? I take a prenatal and that just has 35 mcg in it. Does it help thicken your hair at all? I tried a biotin shampoo at one point but it just smelled bad and did nothing for my hair though I had high hopes. I usually take cranberry as well for a UTI preventative. It was recommended to me by my gyno. She said id have to drink a whole gallon of cranberry juice to get the same benefit as on capsule.Most of my supplements I have taken as a preventative. I started with L-lysine, then K in the autumn of 2021.
My Supplements
D (50k) Rx, 1x weekly
Daily, as per label
(Note: I don't always take daily, sometimes every other day because unless I am sick I can be slack about taking pills, I hate taking pills)
K (550mg) - take this with a daily D
I take it daily, pretty regularly
Take these two at the same time:
Amino acids
- Zinc (30mg) (Acetate, Picolinate, & Orotate)
- Quercetin (250mg)
NAC (600mg)
- L-lysine (500mg)
- DMG (125mg)
This has helped me when I get URI, or after I inhale dirt while mowing, anything to do with respiratory issues, cough, allergies
Biotin (5000mcg)
Cranberry (500mg)
The cranberry has been helpful for UTI prevention, personal experience
Biotin has been helpful for fungal infections, personal experience
When I take my supplements fairly regularly I notice a difference. I come home from a 10 hour work day and instead of collapsing in my chair I go outside and mow the lawn, etc. When I don't take them regularly is when I really notice!
See attached photo of my supplement list.
I hope that helps.
Yes, I am NOT an MD, just an older woman who reads a lot, has lived some, and listens to her body. I do that which seems to make me feel better. I make no guarantees.
