Have heard that taking Biotin can cause weight gain.  I started taking a 1500 mg once a day.  Would appreiciate comments from others who have taken it.  My purpose is for nail health.

I take Biotin for my hair (probably doesn't help) and haven't gained weight.  I've never heard that.  A quick Google search says that it can only cause weight gain if you are suffering from a severe deficiency that resulted in anorexia.
