Biotin has always been tied to skincare benefits. Let’s discuss in detail that you should take biotin supplements or not.
Biotin is often known as vitamin H. It is famous for its skin, hair, eyes, liver, and nervous system benefits. It is also found to regulate our blood sugar levels. Biotin deficiency is rare, but it is observed with hair loss, brittle nails, scaly red rash, etc.
Biotin can help people suffering from hair thinning without any underlying conditions. It is reported to stimulate hair regrowth and thickens your hair. It is also good for your nail health. It makes them strong and shiny. Biotin is observed to improve psoriasis. If you are not suffering from any skin condition, biotin supplements can enhance skin health and give soft and glowing skin.
Although it is found in enough amounts in our diet, it is a water-soluble compound which means our body doesn’t store it, and excessive biotin is excreted in the urine. So to maintain a healthy amount in our body, it is good to take its supplements. The generally recommended dose in adults is 30-100mcg, but no side effects are observed with its higher doses. But it is better to consult a physician or a pharmacist before choosing a product.
