Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is recognised as the "vitamin of beauty" because it helps to maintain the good condition of the skin, hair and nails.
Biotin also supports the body in other important ways: it contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal macronutrient metabolism, as well as the normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological functions. While we can usually obtain the right amount of biotin from foods such as walnuts, peanuts, cereals, milk, and egg yolks, sometimes our body needs additional support.
Deficiency may be caused by excessive consumption of raw egg whites, which contain avidin – a protein that binds strongly to biotin. Symptoms of deficiency can include hair thinning or hair loss and the appearance of a scaly, red rash.
Our food supplement is designed to be suitable for vegans and comes in a small, easy-to-swallow capsule. Each capsule provides 10 000 μg of biotin, helping your body to achieve the right amount of this essential vitamin.
