Swanson Biotina de Liberación Prolongada 10.000 mcg 60 Comprimidos

What is biotin and what is it for?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays an essential role in numerous bodily functions. It acts as a coenzyme in macronutrient metabolism, helping to convert food into usable energy. In addition, biotin is widely recognized for its contribution to maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails under normal conditions.

Swanson Timed-Release Biotin food supplement offers 10,000 mcg (10 mg) of biotin per tablet in an extended-release format, designed to provide a gradual supply of this vitamin throughout the day.

Benefits supported by the EFSA

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), biotin contributes to the following physiological functions:

• Normal energy metabolism: Biotin participates in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, facilitating energy release.
• Normal functioning of the nervous system: Helps maintain proper nerve transmission.
• Maintenance of hair in normal conditions: Contributes to hair structure, promoting healthy hair.
• Maintenance of mucous membranes in normal conditions: Supports the integrity of the body's mucous membranes.
• Maintenance of skin in normal conditions: Participates in skin cell renewal.

These claims are authorized by the EFSA and are based on sufficient scientific evidence. It is important to note that biotin does not prevent or treat diseases; its function is to aid in normal physiological processes.

Recommended dosage and forms of consumption

The recommended daily dose for adults is one tablet per day, preferably with a meal. Each tablet provides 10,000 mcg of biotin, an amount that exceeds the usual recommended intakes (30-100 μg/day), but is within the safe range and commonly used in supplements to support hair and nails. The extended-release format allows for gradual absorption, maintaining stable levels in the body.

The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.

Possible side effects and safety

Biotin is generally well tolerated even at high doses. No significant adverse effects have been reported at usual supplementation doses. However, in very rare cases, mild digestive discomfort may occur. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.
