What is biotin and what is it for?

NOW Biotin 1000 mcg provides D-biotin, the biologically active form, in a convenient easy-to-swallow capsule presentation. This supplement is formulated to help meet daily biotin needs, especially in people looking for additional personal care support.

Each NOW Biotin capsule provides 1000 micrograms (mcg) of biotin. The recommended dose is one capsule daily, preferably with a meal. This pack includes 4 bottles of 100 capsules each, providing a total of 400 capsules for more than a year's supply. The capsules are small and easy to swallow.
