Does biotin help with weight loss?

I'm trying to get healthier and lose a few kilos. I also want to improve my nail health. Does biotin help with weight loss, or is its main role purely cosmetic for hair and nails?

I was reading somewhere that biotin boosts metabolism, so I got really tempted to buy it. But then I read it can cause bad acne breakouts for some people and now I'm scared. Has anyone here actually lost weight with it, or did it just ruin your skin instead?

Arey, if a simple biotin pill could make me thin, I wouldn't be struggling to tie my shoelaces every morning! My wife bought these expensive biotin gummies and the only thing that lost weight was my wallet. Stick to eating less gulab jamuns, that is the only weight loss plan that works.

Yaar, don't stress too much about these fancy vitamins for weight loss. Biotin is mainly for hair and nails, it won't magically burn down your fat. Just enjoy your life, eat healthy home-cooked meals, and go for a nice walk in the evening. Don't load up your body with unnecessary supplements.

Instead of buying biotin packages which cost at least 500 to 1000 rupees a month, please spend that money on a thyroid and vitamin D blood test first. Many times, low vitamin D is the real reason we can't lose weight. Plan your health budget wisely rather than falling for marketing gimmicks.

Honestly, I took biotin for hair fall during exams and it did absolutely nothing for my weight. I actually felt more hungry after taking it, lol. If u want to lose weight, college hostel food is already doing that job for me anyway.

Dekho boss, let's be very clear. Biotin is a B-vitamin, not a fat burner. If you want to lose weight, you have to control your diet and sweat it out in the park. No pill can replace physical hard work and calorie control, so don't look for shortcuts.

Haan, biotin helps in weight loss only if you have to walk 5 kilometers daily to buy it! On a serious note, it has zero impact on weight. It only makes your nails grow so fast that you have to find your nail cutter every three days.
