I've heard claims that it can increase the thickness of the hairshaft. This is something I really need to look into if it is true, because as my hair gets longer, the flatness of it becomes more apparent.
I think it is a B-vitamin of some sort. I take one biotin tablet daily at lunch with a flax oil capsule, along with a hair/skin/nails multivitamin and flax oil capsule or ground flax seed (for omega-3s) at breakfast. My hair is growing faster lately, but I cannot say for sure it is the vitamins; it could just be because it is summertime. However, my fingernails are much stronger and thicker, so I am hoping my hair is also benefitting. Try the biotin; it is fairly cheap, it cannot hurt, and it might help.
