Dr. Feb's Analysis

Scientific Mechanism

Biotin, or Vitamin B-7, acts as a vital coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes. These enzymes are essential for gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and amino acid metabolism. At the cellular level, Biotin facilitates the transfer of carbon dioxide, converting fuel sources into usable energy. This high-dose 5,000 mcg supplement helps saturate enzymatic binding sites, ensuring metabolic pathways function efficiently for hair, skin, and nail health.

Key Benefits

Key benefits include:

  • Supports healthy hair growth and strength
  • Promotes clear, radiant skin
  • Strengthens brittle nails
  • Aids in macronutrient metabolism
  • Supports nervous system function

Usage & Safety

Take 1 capsule daily with a meal. Biotin is water-soluble, but taking it with food improves absorption and reduces stomach upset. Dosage exceeds the Daily Value significantly, so consult a doctor if taking medications. High Biotin levels can interfere with lab tests (like thyroid function), so inform your healthcare provider.
