Solgar Biotin 5000 mcg - 50 Vegetable Capsules - Contributes to the Maintenance of Hair, Skin & Nails - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Kosher

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 a fundamental role in energy metabolism and the maintenance of tissues such as hair, skin, and nails. Naturally present in foods such as eggs, nuts, and legumes, biotin is essential for converting food into energy and for the proper functioning of the nervous system. This Solgar supplement offers 5000 mcg of biotin per capsule, a dose that can help meet daily needs when diet is not sufficient.

Benefits backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for biotin. These include:

• 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.

It is important to note that these statements refer to the maintenance of health under normal conditions, not to the treatment of diseases or the prevention of hair loss.

Recommended dosage and forms of consumption

The recommended daily dose of biotin for adults is 30 to 100 mcg according to reference intakes. However, in some cases, higher doses are used, such as the 5000 mcg offered by this supplement, always within the established safe limits. It is recommended to take one capsule daily with water, preferably with a meal. Each container contains 50 vegetable capsules, enough for 50 days of use. Biotin is water-soluble, so excess is eliminated in urine, making it a safe vitamin even at high doses.
