What is biotin and what is it used for?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin of the B group that plays essential functions in the body. It acts as a cofactor in various metabolic reactions, participating in the synthesis of fatty acids, gluconeogenesis, and amino acid metabolism. One of its best-known functions is its role in maintaining hair, skin, and nails in normal conditions. For this reason, biotin supplements are popular among those seeking to complement their personal care.

Benefits backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated and approved several health claims for biotin. These are the claims you can find on authorized products:

• Biotin contributes to normal energy metabolism.
• Biotin contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
• Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.
• Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin.

These statements are based on a solid body of scientific evidence. It is important to note that biotin supplements are not medicines and are not intended to treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Their function is to supplement a balanced diet.

Recommended dosage and forms of consumption

Each KAL Ultra Biotin micro tablet provides 10,000 µg (micrograms) of pure biotin. This amount far exceeds the recommended daily intake for adults (30-100 µg), but is considered safe within established limits. The ActivMelt presentation form is a micro tablet that dissolves quickly in the mouth, facilitating its absorption and avoiding the need to swallow large tablets. Its natural berry flavor makes it a pleasant option for daily consumption.

The suggested dose is to dissolve one micro tablet in the mouth daily, preferably with a meal. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain product quality.

What foods contain biotin?

Biotin is found naturally in many foods. The richest sources include egg yolk, nuts (such as almonds and walnuts), legumes, offal (liver), whole grains, and certain vegetables such as cauliflower and mushrooms. However, the amount present in food can vary, and in some cases, additional supplementation may be useful to meet daily needs, especially when a concentrated intake is sought.

Possible side effects and safety

Biotin is a safe vitamin, and no significant adverse effects have been reported at usual doses. As it is water-soluble, excess is eliminated through urine, so the risk of toxicity is very low. However, it is advisable not to exceed the indicated daily dose. In very rare cases, some people may experience mild digestive discomfort. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medication, consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation.

How to choose a good biotin supplement?

When selecting a biotin supplement, it is advisable to consider aspects such as the form of biotin (D-biotin is the active form), the dosage, the manufacturing quality, and certifications. KAL Ultra Biotin is manufactured in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified facilities in Utah, USA, and all its ingredients are laboratory verified to guarantee purity and potency. In addition, its sublingual micro tablet format favors efficient absorption.

Remember that 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.
