Answer 1

yes but not too effective

Answer 2

Biotin is a "B" Vitamin.  In their natural state, "B" vitamins come in complexes and contain cofactors that assist the body in digesting them properly.  ALL, yes ALL of the commercially available "B" vitamin pills are made from the petroleum distillate, Coal Tar, except for one company that I know of in the world.

These commercially prepared Coal Tar extracts are junk and the body knows it.  It is especially bad to take a single element "B" vitamin because this throws the entire "B" complex out of balance and that is not good for the body.  These types of pills also contain really bad things like Magnesium Stearate that is a Trans Fat, immune suppressant, and inhibits the absorption of nutrients.  All the pills also contain other excipients that damage the body, like the talc residue from the machines that make them and talc is a known carcinogen.  

Nature makes the ideal nutrient packages and if grown in good fertile soil will provide incredible health.  Chemicals and processing that are used to make pills along with low grade nutrients used to make them all contribute to problems with your health.  

It's not easy to be healthy in America today.

The synthetic vitamins are really just synthetic chemical activators that elicit a reaction in the body similar to what a real vitamin complex does, but that only lasts for a few days and then the garbage damages your DNA and actually can and typically does shorten your life.  This is why most of the recent studies on multiple vitamins shows that people have about a 5% chance of dying earlier if they take multivitamins than those that don't.  

I would never recommend and do not recommend anyone to take vitamins that come from commercial stores because many studies have shown that 97.5% of them contain old herbs, bad mixes of herbs, excipients that are harmful, and many synthetic chemical activators being used to cause them to try and hold their potencies.

good luck to you

Answer 3

Biotin is a vitamin- also known as vitamin B7

There could have been other things in that product, but biotin is perfectly fine for someone over 12 or so.

Answer 4

Hi Kurtis.  You got some really bad information from the "Top Contributor" Onlymatch.  Most of what he states is absolutely incorrect.  For example, he states that Magnesium Stearate is a Trans Fat.  That is chemically IMPOSSIBLE, because stearate is a saturated fat, and trans fats HAVE TO BE unstaturated.

I'm sure what I just wrote means nothing to you, but be sure to ignore bad advice - even when it 'sounds so impressive' as Onlymatch's b.s.
