Re: biotin mcg/mg conversion

[Guest guest]

Okay, I'm not too sharp on converting metric, but am I right that 20mg of biotin

would be 2000 mcg?

I Make this 2mg, not 20mg. 1000mcg = 1gram.

I think I realized this later--so Dana, to get 20 mg 3x day, that's a lot of

biotin! Did you give other B vitamins with this to keep it all balanced?

20mg = 20,000mcg. 2000mcg would be 2mg.

I have 5mg capsules. Yes, it is a lot of biotin.

My son is fully loaded with all B vitamins except biotin and mB12. I

also give extra folic acid to combat problems with the mB12. And then

he gets basically USRDA of the other Bs.

I have 5mg capsules, and they are really tiny. I give my kids some

supps as capsules, and others I open and mix into peanut butter and

honey. The biotin is 4 caps opened and mixed into the peanut butter

and honey with a few other things. It really does not add much volume

to the mix, because the caps are so small.

Right now I am using Henry's brand, but the caps are a little larger

than the previous brand, which I don't have any more so I don't

remember the brand. It was not my usual brand, which is Natural

Factors. I found it at my local health food store tho, so you can go

to yours and browse if you want.
