Biotina 5.000 mcg - 60 Cápsulas Vegetales - NOW Foods

What is biotin and what is it used for?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for multiple bodily functions. It plays a key role in the metabolism of macronutrients, helping to convert food into energy. In addition, it is widely recognized for its contribution to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails. This NOW Foods supplement offers 5,000 mcg per capsule, a high dose that many users choose to support their personal care.

Benefits backed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has authorized the following health claims for biotin:

• Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.

These statements are scientifically backed and are the only ones permitted for use in the European Union. NOW Foods biotin supplement is formulated to deliver these benefits without making unapproved claims.

Recommended dosage and forms of consumption

Each vegetable capsule contains 5,000 mcg (5 mg) of biotin in its active D-biotin form. The recommended daily dose is one capsule per day, preferably with a meal for better absorption. This amount is significantly higher than the recommended daily intake (30 μg), but is within the safe range and is commonly used in hair and nail supplements. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially with high doses.

Safety and possible side effects

Biotin is generally safe and well tolerated. As it is a water-soluble vitamin, excess is eliminated through urine, so the risk of toxicity is very low. No significant adverse effects have been described with doses of up to 10 mg per day. However, in very rare cases, some people may experience mild digestive discomfort. It is important to keep the product out of the reach of children and not to exceed the recommended daily dose.
