Nature's Bounty Biotina 10.000 mcg, 120 Cápsulas Blandas

What is biotin and what is it used for?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin essential for the proper functioning of the body. It acts as a coenzyme in numerous metabolic reactions, especially in the synthesis of fatty acids, gluconeogenesis, and amino acid metabolism. Nature's Bounty offers this biotin in a dose of 10,000 mcg per softgel, providing a significant contribution for those looking to support the normal maintenance of their hair, skin, and nails. Being water-soluble, excess is eliminated through urine, making it a safe option within recommended limits.

Benefits backed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for biotin. This food supplement contributes to:

• Normal energy metabolism.
• Normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Maintenance of hair under normal conditions.
• Maintenance of skin under normal conditions.
• Maintenance of mucous membranes under normal conditions.

It is important to note that these claims refer to the maintenance of health under normal conditions, not to the cure or prevention of diseases.

Recommended dosage and forms of consumption

Each Nature's Bounty softgel provides 10,000 mcg of biotin in its active form (D-biotin). The recommended daily intake for adults is one capsule a day, preferably with a meal to facilitate absorption. The 10,000 mcg dose is higher than the reference intake (50 mcg/day), but it is within the ranges commonly used in supplements for hair and skin care. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Possible side effects and safety

Biotin is generally safe and well-tolerated. No significant adverse effects are known at usual doses. As it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body naturally eliminates excess. However, in very rare cases, mild digestive discomfort may occur. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are taking other medications.

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.
