About Biotin
Biotin, or vitamin H, is a B vitamin needed by the body to help break down carbohydrates and fats.[1] There is usually no prescription needed to buy biotin supplements, and they are available over the counter at many drug stores, health food stores and other retailers that sell vitamins and minerals.
Biotin aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids. Some people claim that biotin supplements can lead to healthy hair and stronger fingernails, and can even help clear up acne. However, these claims have yet to be proven by any scientific research. Biotin occurs naturally in foods such as carrots, bananas, liver, cauliflower and salmon. It is understood that most people will get enough biotin simply by eating a healthy diet, and supplements are only necessary in case of a deficiency. However, biotin is still used by many to help promote a healthy appearance.[2]
There are no common side effects currently associated with biotin when 10 milligrams per day or less are consumed. However, experts have not found the maximum safe dosage, and side effects may be possible when larger amounts are taken. Parents are advised not to give biotin to kids unless a doctor has directed them to do so. In addition, pregnant or nursing women are advised to consult a physician before consuming biotin. Biotin can make some cholesterol drugs less effective.[3]
