Are there any Biotin hair growth side effects?

Biotin hair growth side effects? There have been no documented reports of significant Biotin side effects. Some people report that their nails were also growing stronger and/or faster. Some people have reported that they got some facial break-outs (zits), but there does not seem to be a direct link between the Biotin hair supplements and the zits. It is believed that Biotin may interact negatively with alcohol and antibiotics, mostly because they prevent the body to normally absorb the Biotin, as well as destroying the normally produced B vitamin within the body.
