Biotin 500µg
An important B Vitamin
This is an interesting member of the B Vitamin family because whilst our body can’t make it (which is part of the definition of being a vitamin), the bacteria in our digestive system can make it, and we can absorb it from this source. However, antibiotics and intestinal disturbances can disrupt its normal production.
Biotin contributes to the process that releases energy from food and in the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the maintenance of normal hair.
This is a high strength supplement, and as such it really doesn’t need to be taken for much longer than a few months after which one of our multis, or a B Complex will provide adequate levels.
High strength supplement
Many times stronger than the level found in multis
Biotin helps to maintain function of the immune system
Also contributes to the release of energy from food

Didn'T Work For Me
By Wendy Hasler-Eyles - 10th April 2013
Why do you use this product Biotin 500µg ?
I was really keen to improve my nails, which peel and are very brittle. This product made absolutely no difference to my nails, would welcome any other suggestions?
Recommend to a friend: No
Generally we would advise that you should try a supplement for at least 3 months, before assessing the effects. Our advice would be to take two capsules of biotin for a further month.We do offer a full money back guarantee, should you still feel the same after this time.
Fatty acids such as those found in Flax Seed Oil and Fish Oil are also thought to be useful for skin, hair and nail health as they can be thought of as moisturising from the inside! I would suggest Fish Oil (code 516) at a dose of three capsules daily (unless you are eating two to three portions of oily fish such as sardines and mackerel per week). Flax Seed Oil (code 559) would be an excellent vegetarian alternative and should also be used at three capsules daily.
Hair Loss
By Helen Holmes - 15th June 2012
Why do you use this product Biotin 500µg ?
I have got to the point in life where my hair is not as thick as it once was and obviously this worries me. I read a review on line about a hair restore product and it stated that taking 10,000mcg of Biotin divided between two doses so that the body can cope with the amount for a few months works. Apparently after six months this lady noticed a significant difference and that is what I am hoping for. It is early days but it is worth a try. I looked up in a Vitamin book about Biotin and it appears it is a very safe vitamin to take even at large doses as it is water soluable. After the six months the lady took a break and I expect if later she noticed further loss she would start again. Anything is worth trying.

Hair And Nail
By Terence Nock - 20th May 2012
Why do you use this product Biotin 500µg ? My wife was really struggling to maintain the health of her nails and hair - her nails were rigged and flakey and her hair was dry and tended to break off. Biotin has restored both to excellent condition - strong nails and glowing hair.

Biotin
By Helen Ogden - 3rd May 2012
Why do you use this product Biotin 500µg ? I was having problems with my nails after becoming ill and so I decided to try these. I was not disappointed, both my nails and hair grew considerably longer and stronger. This is my second purchase after having a short break from them.
