Biotin

Biotin hair vitamin (H/B8) is naturally present in foods such as eggs, milk, nuts and bananas. Some individuals do not get enough biotin to support healthy hair growth, which can lead to a deficiency. A lack of biotin hair vitamin may, in some cases, result in thinning hair and facial rashes.
Biotin plays an important role in maintaining strong, healthy hair. Using biotin hair supplements can help manage and prevent deficiencies of this essential vitamin. Adequate intake of biotin supports hair growth and helps maintain the overall condition of the hair.

Biotin benefits

Biotin is an important part of enzymes in the body that break down substances such as fats, carbohydrates and other nutrients. It is a vitamin in the B category, which is essential for maintaining energy levels. Many foods and drinks naturally contain biotin, which has positive effects on overall health.

When biotin combines with the amino acid lysine, it forms biocytin. Biocytin is an organic compound with a specific chemical structure. According to a study published in The Journal of Nutrition (2014), around half of pregnant women showed signs of marginal biotin deficiency, highlighting increased biotin needs during pregnancy. Women are more vulnerable to deficiency at this time, making adequate biotin intake crucial.

Products such as the Hair Growth Supporting Tablets from Neofollics contain biotin to help maintain energy, support general health and improve the condition of the hair. According to a review in The Journal of Nutrition (2017), biotin acts as a coenzyme for enzymes involved in glucose production and the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, as well as carbon dioxide transfer.

Biotin for hair and health

According to a review published in The Journal of Nutrition (2017), biotin is a crucial coenzyme in glucose production and the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, with no adverse effects reported even at high intake levels.
This means it is completely safe for regular use.

Supplements that include biotin can help improve hair and nail health, particularly in individuals with a biotin deficiency or brittle nail syndrome. While biotin plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin, hair and nails, supplementation is most beneficial when addressing an existing deficiency.

A deficiency in biotin may lead to reduced nail strength and hair loss. In infants, a lack of biotin has been linked to cradle cap and increased hair shedding. Using supplements can help strengthen the nails and reduce hair loss.

Although diabetes is not caused by a biotin deficiency, some research suggests that biotin plays a role in glucose metabolism and may support insulin function.

Hair Growth Supporting Tablets

These tablets provide a balanced blend of natural extracts, vitamins and minerals to correct nutrient imbalances that may lead to hair loss. They nourish the hair from within and help maintain its strength, thickness and healthy appearance over time.
