What Causes Low Libido After Having Biotin Capsules?

Posted on Mon, 8 Jun 2015

Question: Hi, I have started using Biotin capsules since three weeks for my hairloss and nail cracks and looks like it is getting better. But I'm losing my sex desire and lacking while performing sex. Does Biotin has anything to do with this ? If so, what's the remedy ? Kindly help. Thank you!
