GlossaryBiotin Supplementation

taking extra Vitamin B7 to support hair and nail health

Biotin supplementation involves taking additional biotin, also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H, to support various bodily functions. Biotin is essential for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, and it is often used to improve hair, skin, and nail health. While biotin deficiency is rare, supplementation can be beneficial for individuals with certain medical conditions or those experiencing hair thinning or alopecia.
