OVER DOSAGE
Have as much as you like. There are no negative effects of too much Biotin.

If you are taking Sulfa, narcotics, drinking heavily or taking

for an extensive period of time,
you may have to step up your intake of Biotin to retain sufficient
functionality.

Biotin is often used to speed up the body's metabolism for weight
loss. Supplements are also used for hair
loss and significant skin problems. It is also thought to be a
major deterrent for muscular dystrophy.
