How much biotin is a 13 year old allowed to take?

olivia5050
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. If you know any other supplements that help with hair growth that are safe for me to take, I would appreciate it if you told me. Thanks.
