What is biotin and what is it used for?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin that is part of the B complex. It is naturally found in foods such as oats, vegetables, and soy. Biotin plays a fundamental role in energy metabolism, helping to convert the food we consume into usable energy for the body. In addition, it is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system and contributes to the maintenance of hair, skin, and mucous membranes under normal conditions.

Benefits backed by EFSA

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

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

These statements are based on solid scientific evidence. It is important to remember that food supplements with biotin can help achieve these benefits as part of a balanced diet.

Recommended dosage and forms of consumption

Each quick-dissolving tablet provides 5000 mcg (5 mg) of biotin, a dose that is within the range commonly used in supplements for hair, skin, and nail care. The recommended daily dose is one tablet per day. For optimal absorption, place the tablet under the tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing. Its quick-dissolving formula allows for rapid release and a pleasant natural strawberry flavor. This package contains two bottles of 60 tablets each, enough for a four-month supply.

Possible side effects and safety

Biotin is generally safe and well-tolerated, even at high doses. As it is a water-soluble vitamin, excess is eliminated through urine. No significant adverse effects are known with the consumption of up to 5000 mcg daily. However, it is recommended not to exceed the indicated daily dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before taking this supplement. Keep out of reach of small children.
