TLDR Plant-based biotin from SesZenBioTM could be twice as effective as synthetic biotin for hair care.
The study "Characterization of Plant-Based Biotin from SesZenBioTM and In silico Studies to Prove Its Potential in Hair Care" focused on the characterization of a standardized extract from Sesbania agati leaves (SESAL), developed by Zenherb labs Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, as a plant-based biotin supplement. The researchers used chromatographic techniques and DNA authentication to characterize SESAL, and in-silico approach to predict its potential role in hair care products. The biotin content in SesZenBio was found to be 0.5% by a validated HPLC method. The study suggests that biotin, along with 2 other cofactors in SesZenBioTM, could stimulate hair follicle growth and differentiation, thus improving hair health. The study concludes that SesZenBioTM might have twice the potential of synthetic biotin in hair care applications.
