Findings
Researchers found 18 cases where biotin helped with hair and nail growth—but only in people who had an underlying deficiency or condition. For healthy people with normal biotin levels, there's basically no solid evidence that biotin supplements actually work. The bottom line: biotin might help if something's actually wrong, but it's probably not worth taking if your hair and nails are already fine.
