Biotin is an essential vitamin, also known as vitamin H, widely used for hair loss, brittle or weak nails, and skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.
Indications
Indicated for hair loss, weak, brittle or splitting nails, and eczema & dermatitis.
Pharmacology
Biotin is an essential vitamin involved in vital physiological functions like fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis. It influences epidermal cell growth, functions as a coenzyme for mitochondrial carboxylases in hair roots, and improves keratin structure.
Dosage
Adults generally take 1-3 tablets per day. Children (with deficiency): 5-10 tablets daily, crushed and mixed with water or fruit juice. Recommended dietary allowance (RDA) is 30 mcg/day for adults and 30-35 mcg/day during pregnancy and lactation.
Side effects
Well tolerated at recommended doses. No biotin toxicity has been reported even with high supplementations of up to 200 mg orally or 20 mg intravenously per day.
Use in pregnancy
Sufficient clinical data is not available for high-dose therapeutic use in pregnant women, though the recommended dietary allowance is 30 mcg/day. Use with medical guidance.
Precautions & warnings
Should be used according to medical advice. Excessive consumption of raw egg whites can interfere with biotin absorption.
Overdose effects
No serious toxicity or overdose effects have been reported since it is a water-soluble vitamin and excess amounts are typically excreted by the body.
Storage conditions
Store in a cool and dry place, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
