Dotsie, I get my vitamins and supplements from Lifescript

http://www.lifescript.com

As for the biotin and lysine that I take, I get them from Walgreens.

I just started the Biotin (5000 mcg)only a week ago. I also started Black Cohash (40 mg.)and I take a Centrum Silver. Some vitamins can hurt. For example: No Vitamin E for me, according to my cardiologist. It thins the blood and since I take aspirin, that would be bad. Also, I cannot take St. John's wart since you should not take it with high blood pressure. I am really careful what I put into this body, especially since that "Imitrex" gave me my heart attack.

dejavu, I'd start out on the low side with Biotin and see how your body reacts. It takes up to 6 weeks or so, before you start seeing results for the first time. Usually 1 mg is a good start. That's 1000 mcg on the label. I'm taking 5 mg of Biotin now. I also take Lysine to help my immune system. I get a lot of cold sores, but while taking Lysine I get maybe 1 a year. And it heals super fast.



Thanks, Vicki, I was hoping someone could give me advice on that.
