Now Foods Biotin fell to the #3 spot when it didn’t quite make our cut as a top supplement. While this product does have some strong points, it really failed in our eyes for containing a lower-than-recommended daily dosage, and lacking verifiable customer reviews, which made us wonder if it even works.
Is Now Foods Biotin Effective?
While this capsule does not contain the full recommended daily dosage, we believe it should be effective. However, we cannot find any proof on the website that this product actually works. There were no reviews on its website or any type of guarantee and very few reviews on third party retailers to tell us whether this company is worth buying from.
The issue here is that Now Foods Biotin is offering a product that looks good on the website, but we are not sure how effective it actually is. From our research it seems that it should be effective, but there is a noted lack of actual customer reviews for this product. While their formula seems sound, we like to see products that people have used, loved, and will continue to vouch for.
Another strike against this product was the fact that it is offered only as a single bottle – one month’s worth. Sometimes, you can see results from a supplement in just a short period and other times it can take over a month to reach and maintain the optimum effects. Most other companies offer multiple package deals for several month’s worth of bottles, which can maximize results and also lower the price per bottle by quite a bit. With Now Foods Biotin, you’re usually stuck paying the one-bottle price. Does that mean this company expects people to buy only one bottle and never buy from them again? It’s hard to say because they certainly don’t share customer experiences, but that’s what it seems like from their website.
Bottom Line: We are not sure if Now Foods Biotin is effective due to the fact that the product is not formulated using the dosage which was recommended in clinical studies. While this supplement does contain 5,000mcg of biotin per capsule, the manufacturer only recommends taking one per day, which is less than the dosage found effective in clinical trials. It is well known that supplements can work differently for different people, due to each body’s unique makeup. We tried to find positive reviews and success stories on their website, but unfortunately we could not find enough information that leads us to believe that this product will definitely work.
Is Now Foods Biotin Safe?
This product contains pure biotin and follows the GMP standards. It has no reported side effects and can be taken with most medications.
The only concern with this supplement is overdosing. Since this supplement is not the full recommended strength for a biotin hair growth supplement, some consumers think that they can get ahead faster and see better results by taking more than the recommended amount. It is important to keep in mind that taking more than the recommended dosage could potentially pose some health risks.
Summary
We believe this could be a good product, with a reformulation to include a higher strength capsule. But with a lack of verifiable consumer reviews on the website and a daily dosage that falls short of the recommended amount, we had to place this product in our #3 spot.
