    Yes, you can take biotin. But, from what I understand, biotin alone is pretty worthless. You need to take the entire B-complex (all the B vitamins, particularly b12) in order for your body to absorb the biotin.

    You can slice fresh lemons and float them into your water. Be careful about squeezing the lemon juice because it may be tempting to be 'heavy handed' with the lemon...and they DO have carbs.

            The Biotin that I take has B-Complex in it. I take the high potency one by Country Life. I got it at Whole Foods.
