I found a chart that gives dosages according to age... Biotin in higher doses might be prescribed by your doctor. There is no known amount that is "too high" but you shouldn't ever chance taking a higher dose unless your doctor tells you to!

0-6 months

5 micrograms/day

7-12 months

6 mcg/day

1-3 years

8 mcg/day

4-8 years

12 mcg/day

9-13 years

20 mcg/day

14-18 years

25 mcg/day

19 years and up

30 mcg/day

Pregnant women

30 mcg/day

Breastfeeding women

35 mcg/day

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 :)
