Biotin deficienc is typically seen in the pediatric population and the association with adult (female or male) hair loss is WEAK. Biotin deficiency can cause hair loss as one of its symptoms (along with seborrheic dermatitis, dry skin, brittle nails, fatigue, intestinal tract issues, muscle pains, and nervous system problems). Even a cursory search of the available medical literature will demonstrate that Biotin deficiency is also RARE among the adult population.Therefore, widespread supplementation with Biotin is likely unnecessary and unlikely to improve hair growth. An exception to this would be those patients consuming large amounts of egg whites (i.e. more than 20 raw egg whites per day over a period of weeks to months) or with absorption problems (i.e. on parenteral nutrition etc.), and excessive/prolonged antibiotics and anti-seizure medications.Fear not though, Biotin (AKA Vitamin H and B7) is water soluble, so taking excess Biotin from a costly supplement only results in expensive urine...GOOD LUCK!
