Biotin is a popular supplement for those who are looking to improve their skin or grow their hair and nails.It is generally deemed safe as long as you are taking the recommended dosage prescribed by your doctor. But just as with any supplement, it's important to be aware of how it could negatively impact your body. There are a number of unexpected negative side effects of taking biotin- cystic acne, stomach complaints, raised blood sugar etc. So it's good to be aware of them before you start a new regimen.
