Since I have used OPI's Nail Envy my nails have become stronger than ever before, but they break a little from the corners every now and then. I am looking to see what can really strengthen and thicken my nails so I won't have that problem. I have decided to start taking Biotin pills to see if can make my nails grow faster and maybe a little thicker. I am doing a little experiment. It might not work, but sometimes the faith in a product is what really causes it to work, It's all in your head!
What is Biotin:
Biotin is a coenzyme and a B vitamin, also known as vitamin H. As a supplement, biotin is sometimes used for diabetes, brittle nails, healthy hair, acne, hair loss, and other conditions(WebMd) It is not guaranteed that it helps or treats any of these conditions, as much as companies guarantee that it does.
Where I bought my Biotin Bottle:
I bought Nature Made Superior Potency Biotin 5000 mcg. It got this at TARGET(my favorite store) for $7.49+ tax. It would have been $9.49+ tax, but I used a coupon on Shopkick(and awesome app, that where you can accumulate points for prizes. Check it out the link at the bottom if you want) The pills are liquid soft gels and I will take one everyday for 63 days after breakfast & see if any significant thing happens to my hair, nails, or skin. I will post a weekly picture of my nail progress each week for anyone that wants to see the results that "studies guarantee". Again I don't believe in statements made by companies because all they are trying to do is sell their product.
