BariMelts Biotina 5000mcg - 90 Comprimidos de Disolución Rápida, Sabor Fresa Natural

What is biotin and what is it used for?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It plays a key role in cellular energy production and in maintaining tissues such as hair, skin, and nails. BariMelts Biotin offers 5000 mcg of biotin in convenient, fast-dissolving tablets, specially formulated for women after bariatric surgery, where nutrient absorption can be compromised.

Benefits backed by the EFSA

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), biotin contributes to:

• Normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Normal functioning of the nervous system
• Maintenance of normal hair
• Maintenance of normal skin
• Maintenance of normal mucous membranes

These benefits are scientifically recognized and apply to the general population. BariMelts Biotin is designed to help meet biotin needs after bariatric surgery, thereby supporting these normal physiological processes.

Recommended dosage and consumption method

The recommended daily dose is one tablet (5000 mcg of biotin). The tablets are fast-dissolving: simply place them on your tongue and they will dissolve in seconds, without the need for water. This presentation facilitates absorption and is ideal for people with sensitive stomachs or difficulty swallowing pills. The package contains 90 tablets, enough for a three-month supply.

What foods contain biotin?

Biotin is naturally found in foods such as egg yolk, nuts (almonds, walnuts), legumes (soybeans, lentils), whole grains, and some vegetables (spinach, broccoli). However, after bariatric surgery, intake and absorption may be insufficient, so a supplement like BariMelts Biotin helps ensure adequate intake.

Safety and potential side effects

Biotin is generally safe and well-tolerated. At normal doses (up to 5000 mcg/day), no significant adverse effects are known. As it is a water-soluble vitamin, excess is excreted in the urine. However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, consult your healthcare professional before using this supplement. Warning: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.

How to choose a good biotin supplement?

When choosing a biotin supplement, it is important to consider the form of the vitamin (D-biotin is the active form), the dosage, purity, and quality certifications. BariMelts Biotin is manufactured in NSF and GMP certified facilities and undergoes third-party testing to ensure its potency and purity. In addition, it is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and sugar-free diets, sweetened only with natural sweeteners. It follows the guidelines of the ASMBS (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery), making it a reliable option for post-surgical care.
