I'm currently struggling with hair growth, My hair will not grow no matter what. After doing a bit of research, I found out that biotin helps with hair growth. How much biotin would you recommend for me? I am thinking of taking 1000 mcg, but I am worried that it will be too much and it will cause acne.
