    Fantastic Vernonica! That is great! I went to pharmacy and bought biotin bottle today. Do you know if there is a difference in brands or quality? I bought nature made 5000 mcg soft gels to try it. Thanks for posting update. Suebee

      Yes, I know I would need to consume the entire $14 bottle of biotin to take one day of 100 mg 3x. sigh. I'm not in the study. I dont buy in bulk yet. and It was on sale.... I figured It could be a warm up. a little hope in a jar.

          I'm on 100mg, 3x a day for my trial. Haven't noticed anything major, but I may be on the placebo. That said, I'm waking up way early (4-5 am) and get the occasional headache. I never get headaches.

          Of course, I did just set a distance PR on my trike (21 mi.) so you never know....

            Just to follow up on this thread with an opinion from one of the MS neuro blogs I follow. It is now actively being recommended by neurologists NOT to take biotin for MS. This is primarily due to changes in the bloodwork that could lead to unnecessary treatment. -D

            Biotin was a found by a chance occurrence. Biotin is one of those drugs you can get your hands on and you can eat 30 tablets a day to get the high dose in the trials. Some of you will be munching on these. But just as many of you will be ordering lipoic acid based on a drug selection study, there is no replacement for a clinical trial at present. This nutriceutical come pharmaceutical has been tested in progressive MS and it seems to have failed.
