    Where to buy biotin

    My neuro wrote a script for 100mg biotin 3 times a day. Now I need to find a pharmacy that will compound it and not charge me an arm and a leg, as insurance will not pay for it. My local compounding pharmacy says a one month supply is $300.00. Another pharmacy near me charges $150.00 for a months supply.I know there are sites online to order from, but I am leery, as you never know what kind of quality you may get.Anyone ordering online and have a good experience for your chosen supplier? Any advice about who or who not to order from would be helpful and appreciated.

    Biotin source

    Hi, if you want to try Biotin, you can buy it here: https://purebulk.com/biotin-pure/ It is very cheap, but you will need to buy also empty capsules N.4 and filling machine. I did it. This Biotin powder is high grade, almost 100% pure Biotin, without any unwanted filler. If you from US, you can buy Biotin similar quality here: http://www.bulksupplements.com/pure-...itamin-b7.html Do not buy 1% Biotin! I have been taking this Biotin 3x 100mg a day, almost 2 month.

      Where can I buy pure biotin, as described above, but already in the 100mg capsules?

      Thanks!

        There is a pharmacy in Waltham, Massachusetts that claims to be the first to offer over-the-counter 100mg Biotin.

        Their name is Johnson Compounding and Wellness, and their website is naturalcompounder.com.

        Their info states that the biotin is pharmaceutical grade, is manufactured in the USA, and shipped for free in the US.

        I have not used this pharmacy or their products, but am very interested in the biotin regimen for my progressive MS.

        As always, please discuss with your doctor before beginning any new supplement!

          Welcome to MS World!

          Thanks for the Biotin info.

          Keep us informed on how you're doing with it, and if it seems to be helping (I know it can take some time before positive results are apparent).

            You can buy pharma-grade Biotin 3 X 100mg capsules no prescription required for $39.95 a bottle from Skip's Pharmacy with free shipping. Here's the link...

            I've been buying it now for about five months.

              I thought this was interesting -

              "A global Phase 3 clinical trial assessing MD1003 — also known as high-dose biotin — for progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) might lead to the approval of one of the first treatments helping select progressive patients to improve.

              The trial aims to prove that high-dose biotin can reverse disability in non-active progressive MS. While this has been seen in an earlier Phase 3 trial, the new trial is much larger — ensuring a much greater volume of data will be collected — and, equally important, it may bring the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to initiate a review of the treatment’s effectiveness as a first step toward possible approval."

              https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.c...rederic-sedel/ This was from May, 2017 and haven't taken the time yet to research this further.

              Good news for those of us with progressive form of MS!
