About Supplements.co.nz Doctor's Best Biotin 5000mcg
Doctor’s Best Biotin is a highly potent source of biotin, a water soluble B-Vitamin that promotes healthy hair, skin and nails. Clinical observations of biotin deficiency show its importance for the upkeep of healthy skin and hair, as well as for the immune and central nervous systems. Biotin is vital to our life processes and occurs in all our cells. Unlike many vitamins, however, biotin is a co-enzyme - it is actually part of the molecular structure of certain of our enzymes, and without it these enzymes cannot function.
The body also uses biotin to produce energy and to efficiently utilize proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Since the body cannot make biotin it must be obtained from the diet. Clinical studies have found that biotin supplementation helps improve the hair, skin, and nails.
Benefits
Healthy Hair, Skin and Nails:
Considerable evidence links biotin status to the health of the hair, skin and nails. One known mutation changes the structure of the hair and makes it virtually impossible to comb, often accompanied by scaling of the scalp. Biotin has been found to alleviate these problems while increasing hair growth rate. Skin integrity is vulnerable to the lack of biotin, whether due to dietary deficiency, poor absorption or mutations in biotin enzymes. Clinical studies have indicated biotin supplementation may also improve nails.
Supports Energy Generation and Other Essential Enzyme Functions
Fundamental to Gene Regulation and DNA Integrity:
Besides its importance for energy generation and a variety of metabolic activities, biotin is crucial for DNA stability and healthy gene activity.
Helps Maintain Health and Wellbeing:
The importance of biotin for health begins at conception. The developing brain and other organs of the foetus have a high requirement for biotin. Lactation also increases the requirement for dietary biotin intake. The benefits of consuming adequate biotin actually extend to the entire population, including individuals who smoke, consume alcohol or simply desire added ‘nutritional insurance’ for good health. This B Vitamin is increasingly being recognized for its diverse involvements in energetics, genetic stability and metabolic versatility.
