Biotin 1000mcg Capsules 50’s (solgar)

Biotin, also commonly known as vitamin B7 is part of the B vitamin family. Biotin is an essential vitamin that helps maintain healthy hair, skin, nails and mucus membranes. It also helps in converting food to energy and more specifically in the metabolism of glucose. It helps in people suffering from type 1 and type 2 diabetes. You can find it naturally in fish, nuts, dairy, leafy greens, mushrooms and pulses, but as it is water-soluble, the body doesn’t store it. It helps keep your skin, hair, eyes, liver, and nervous system healthy. Biotin is also an important supplement during pregnancy, as it is necessary for embryonic growth.

What are the benefits of biotin?

Hair: Keeping your biotin levels up helps to maintain healthy, shiny hair.

Metabolism: several enzymes involved in energy production need biotin to function properly. These enzymes help to break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins, meaning they help to break down multiple important amino acids and fatty acids. It also helps the body to make glucose from substances other than carbohydrates, when there is a shortage of carbohydrates in the body.

Taking a biotin supplement is generally regarded as safe, as even if you eat a lot of biotin-rich foods one day and still take the supplement, your body will excrete any excess in urine.

Usage
