Best Answer

Biotin is a B vitamin that helps in formation of glucose and fatty acids.It intervenes in their procession (fatty acids and Carbohydrates ).

It is better to eat food containing Biotin than taking it as a drug supplement;but in some special cases the second choice may be preferred due to individual conditions.

Better you eat food with Biotin and then you may get other supplements contained in that food,and you give your organism a good chance to proceed to different components from the food you ate !

Can you take iron pills and biotin pills at the same time?

According to the pharmacist, I was told to take my iron and biotin tablets at least 2 or 3 hours apart as the iron 'sucks' up the goodness from the biotin and therefore makes it less useful to the body. I take my iron tables first thing in the morning ( on an empty stomach) so 1 hour before breakfast. I take my biotin about 3 - 4 hours later with lunch as it is recommended to take biotin with food so it absorbs better. I have just started the biotin a couple of weeks ago, so to early to tell results as yet; Hope this helps

Does biotin can cause acne or cystic acne?

I have read that biotin in doses upward of 2500 mcg daily can cause acne, and my own personal experience backs that up. I started taking biotin 5000 mcg daily around the end of August 2010 thinking it would make my hair stronger, and by the first of October my skin progressed from being extremely oily to breaking out in deep cysts. Now that I have figured out that the biotin was likely behind it, I have stopped taking it as of yesterday. I wonder how long it will take to get better...I had some acne before I started the biotin, but nowhere near as bad as it is now. I now understand that my diet more than supplies my biotin requirement, and I sure wish I hadn't started taking the supplements. Hope this helps :)
