Pure Encapsulations Biotina 8 mg, 60 Cápsulas - Suplemento para Cabello, Piel y Uñas

What is biotin and what is it used for?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble B vitamin essential for macronutrient metabolism. It acts as a coenzyme in reactions that convert food into energy and participates in the synthesis of fatty acids and glucose. This Pure Encapsulations supplement provides 8 mg (8000 μg) of D-biotin, the biologically active form, in a clean and pure formula.

Benefits supported by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated biotin's health claims and has authorized the following statements:

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

These statements are approved for use on the labeling and advertising of food supplements in the European Union, provided they are accompanied by the recommended daily dose and information on a balanced diet.

Recommended dosage and forms of consumption

The usual daily dose of biotin in food supplements ranges from 30 to 100 μg, although higher doses, such as the 8 mg in this product, are commonly used to support hair, skin, and nail health. The capsules are easy to take, and it is recommended to consume one a day with a meal. Biotin is safe even at high doses, as excess is eliminated through urine as it is water-soluble.

What foods contain biotin?

Biotin is naturally present in foods such as eggs (especially the yolk), nuts, legumes, whole grains, milk, and liver. However, additional needs may warrant supplementation, especially in people with restrictive diets or those seeking a concentrated and standardized intake.

Possible side effects and safety

Biotin is a safe and well-tolerated vitamin. No significant adverse effects have been reported at doses up to 10 mg daily. In very rare cases, extremely high doses could interfere with some laboratory tests (such as thyroid function tests), so it is advisable to inform your doctor if you are taking high doses. No relevant drug interactions have been established.
