Recommended by my Neurologist in 300 mg tablets, does anyone have any tales to tell regarding this? I don't see many results or feedback on here from people taking it!

Keep in mind, the MedDay trials were with PPMS and SPMS patients only. This is not for RRMS.

I do the high dose Biotin. My Neuro told me to be prepared to take it for 12-18 months before giving up on it. It's not a quick fix. You can look at the clinical trial MedDay MD1003 and see some of the promising results that are happening.

The correct dosage is 100mg, taken 3 times per day.

Here is a link for the Facebook group for Biotin and PPMS / SPMS. This is the best source for information regarding Biotin and the progressive forms of MS. The proper compounded 100mg capsules of Biotin can now be purchased for as low as $40.00 per month, without the need of a written prescription.

Thanks Lauralynn the hair isn't an issue for me!!!!!! Do you take it in the 300 mg daily dose or less?

My neurologist also recommended it. I take it every day but I was taking it prior to my diagnosis. I don't see much of a difference but my hair and nails are good ;)

The above ms website stated "Another vitamin that may play a role in MS is biotin. Biotin is part of the vitamin B complex. It may help the protective cover on the nerves, called myelin, from being attacked by the immune system." Hope this helps.
