Different people require different dosages. There have been many studies done with their own take on what dosages of Biotin you should take everyday.
The Importance of Delayed Release (DR) Capsules with Biotin
Delayed release capsules are very important. This is because stomach acid can break down Biotin before your body can absorb it.

The Effects of Biotin
Biotin (also known as vitamin H) is part of the B-complex group of vitamins that help the body convert food into fuel. Healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver depend on B-complex vitamins, and, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center’s website, “They also help the nervous system function properly.”
Although it’s rare to be biotin-deficient, symptoms can include hair loss, dry eyes, dry or scaly skin, fatigue, and insomnia. Certain conditions such as Crohn’s disease can lead to biotin deficiency due to problems with vitamin absorption.
Since there is potential for drug interaction, you should consult your doctor before you start supplementing with biotin.
Long-term use of antibiotics can kill certain gut bacteria responsible for biotin production, and anti-seizure medications can lower biotin levels in the body.
Even in high doses, this water-soluble B vitamin doesn’t have any known side effects and is considered to be nontoxic.
