d-Biotin 1000 mcg Capsules - Hypoallergenic - 120 Count

What is d-Biotin and what is it for?

d-Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the body. The "d" form is the biologically active form, the one our body can efficiently use. This vitamin plays a crucial role in various metabolic functions, helping to convert food into usable energy.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), biotin contributes to normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, and the maintenance of skin, hair, and mucous membranes under normal conditions. In other words, its adequate intake promotes overall well-being from within.

It is important to remember that food supplements do not replace a balanced diet. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.

What foods contain biotin?

Biotin is naturally found in various foods. The richest sources include egg yolk, nuts (such as almonds and walnuts), legumes (soybeans, lentils), whole grains, liver, and other animal organs. It is also present in some vegetables such as spinach and broccoli.

A varied diet usually provides adequate amounts of biotin, but in cases of increased needs or dietary restrictions, a supplement can be very helpful.

Possible side effects and safety

Biotin is a safe and well-tolerated vitamin. Being water-soluble, excess is eliminated through urine, so it is difficult to reach toxic levels. No significant adverse effects have been reported at usual doses.

However, very high doses (such as 1000 mcg) can interfere with some laboratory tests, such as those that measure thyroid hormones or cardiac markers. Therefore, it is advisable to inform your doctor about biotin intake if you are going to undergo tests.
