Biotin
Biotin is a member of the B Vitamin family (B7) and plays an important role in supporting normal hair, skin and nail metabolism. However, as a water soluble nutrient, Biotin cannot be stored in the body long-term. Because of this, a frequent intake is required to support the normal functioning of the nervous system and metabolism of hair, skin and nails.
Since its discovery, research has shown Biotin is present to some extent in most foods (including, meat, egg yolks, fish and beans). However, it has been argued that our dietary intake of Biotin has been overestimated, as the Biotin in food is not fully absorbed. An insufficient intake of Biotin can cause a range of health problems, including poor nail and hair growth.
Supporting Hair, Skin and Nails
Biotin plays an important role in supporting normal hair, skin and nail metabolism, so poor hair growth and brittle nails are two frequent problems encountered by people with a Biotin deficiency.
Biotin also supports energy production, allowing our bodies to properly release energy from the food we eat. As an essential co-enzyme Biotin supports the metabolism of protein, carbohydrate and fat.
How should I take Biotin?
Each small and easy to swallow tablet contains 10,000mcg (10mg) of Biotin. We recommend taking a single tablet per day, ideally with food.
