Taking biotin orally is being tested for a number of cosmetic uses. Many nutritionists agree that biotin is one of the important vitamins for supporting healthy hair growth. A deficiency of biotin may cause hair to become frail and unhealthy, and hair breakage, which may result in hair loss. In addition, researchers have found that biotin supplementation may be supportive for digestive health issues such as candidiasis (yeast overgrowth), and certain skin conditions.



Biotin can support healthy skin: biotin helps your body to maintain healthy skin and normal mucus (natural body oil) production. When taken at high doses, excess B vitamins are typically flushed out via your urine. However, it’s possible that there simply hasn’t been enough research on the potential side effects of taking too much ( 1). The AI levels for biotin are believed to meet the needs of at least 50% of the population, until more research is conducted regarding biotin needs.
