Essential B Vitamin for Hair, Skin, Nails & Energy

Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a key role in supporting healthy hair, skin, and nails. It helps the body convert food into energy by assisting with the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Biotin is often used in supplements aimed at strengthening hair follicles, promoting nail growth, and supporting overall metabolic health.

Understanding Biotin - The Beauty Vitamin

What is Biotin?

Biotin is a water-soluble B-vitamin (Vitamin B7), also known as Vitamin H (from the German words "Haar" and "Haut," meaning hair and skin). As a water-soluble vitamin, biotin is absorbed easily and doesn't accumulate in the body - excess amounts are excreted through urine, making it generally safe for supplementation.

Why is Biotin Important?

Biotin is essential for:

• Converting food (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) into usable energy
• Supporting healthy hair growth and strength
• Maintaining strong, healthy nails
• Promoting clear, smooth skin
• Supporting nervous system and brain function
• Maintaining metabolic health

Scientifically-Supported Health Benefits

• Promotes Healthy Hair Growth: Biotin supports stronger, thicker hair and reduces breakage. It strengthens hair follicles, may help reduce hair loss, promotes hair growth and thickness, and supports overall hair health and shine. Biotin deficiency is associated with hair thinning and loss.
• Strengthens Nails: Biotin helps improve nail thickness and reduces brittleness. Studies show biotin supplementation can increase nail thickness by up to 25%, reduce nail splitting and breaking, promote faster nail growth, and support overall nail health and appearance.
• Supports Skin Health: Biotin contributes to maintaining smooth and clear skin by supporting skin cell regeneration, maintaining skin barrier function, promoting healthy, glowing complexion, and may help with certain skin conditions. Biotin deficiency can cause skin rashes and dermatitis.
• Boosts Energy Metabolism: Biotin helps convert food into usable energy by assisting with the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose for energy, metabolizing fats into fatty acids, and converting proteins into amino acids. This supports sustained energy levels throughout the day.
• Supports Nervous System Function: Biotin plays a role in healthy nerve and brain function by supporting neurotransmitter activity, maintaining myelin sheath (protective coating around nerves), supporting cognitive function and mental clarity, and promoting overall neurological health.
• Supports Pregnancy Health: Biotin needs increase during pregnancy. Adequate biotin supports fetal development, maternal health, and may help prevent birth defects. Pregnant women should consult healthcare provider for appropriate dosing.
• May Support Blood Sugar Regulation: Some research suggests biotin may help regulate blood sugar levels, supporting metabolic health.

Maximize Your Results: Complementary Vitamins & Minerals

For those using biotin for hair, skin, and nail health, integrating other key nutrients can maximize efficacy. Consider combining Biotin with:

• Zinc: Essential for hair growth, skin repair, and nail strength. Supports protein synthesis and cell division.
• Vitamin C: Essential for collagen formation, which provides structure to hair, skin, and nails. Powerful antioxidant that protects against damage.
• Iron: Supports healthy hair growth by delivering oxygen to hair follicles. Iron deficiency is a common cause of hair loss.
• Vitamin D: Supports hair follicle cycling and skin health. Deficiency linked to hair loss and skin conditions.
• Copper and Manganese: Support collagen and elastin production for skin elasticity and hair strength.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Nourish hair follicles, support scalp health, reduce inflammation, and promote skin hydration and radiance.

Complete Nutrition: For comprehensive vitamin and mineral support, consider Immunity Galore (Vitamin C, D3, Zinc & Moringa) or Green Mix Superfood (Multi-Vitamin & Mineral with Prebiotics).

⚠️ CRITICAL - Laboratory Test Interference:

• Biotin can interfere with certain laboratory tests, particularly thyroid tests and cardiac troponin tests
• High-dose biotin (like 10,000mcg) can cause falsely high or falsely low results
• Discontinue biotin 2-3 days before blood tests or inform your healthcare provider you're taking biotin
• This is especially important for thyroid function tests, cardiac markers, and hormone tests

Keep out of reach of children.

Important Notes:

• Biotin is water-soluble and generally very safe - excess is excreted in urine
• Side effects are rare but may include mild digestive upset
• Results take time - hair and nails grow slowly, so be patient and consistent
• Biotin works best when combined with a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals
• If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and consult healthcare provider
• Store in a cool, dry place

Biotin-Rich Foods to Include in Your Diet
