What is Biotin and how does it improve your hair health

What is biotin?

Vitamin H or vitamin B7, commonly known as biotin, is a part of B complex vitamins. All B vitamins are needed in the body to convert food into energy. They help metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. All the B vitamins including biotin are water-soluble, meaning the body does not store them.

What are the benefits of biotin? 

Vitamin H or biotin offers many benefits like strengthening skin, hair, and nails, skin’s protective barrier, assisting in weight loss and lowering cholesterol. Regular consumption of biotin helps regulates and improve metabolism in the body. It also protects the heart by stimulating the blood flow inside the heart. Biotin increases the high-density cholesterol and decreases the low-density lipoprotein which ultimately reduces the risk of heart diseases.

How does biotin improve hair health?

BIotin’s primary role is to turn the food we eat into energy. Though biotin is found in many food items, not everyone consumes enough of it on a regular basis. When this happens, taking a biotin supplement is a smart way to take advantage of all of the benefits of biotin.

Here are ways in which biotin improves hair health:

  1. Biotin stimulates keratin production in hair. Keratin is a protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. It also increases the rate of follicle growth. Regular intake of vitamin B7 can strengthen the hair, supports hair growth, and also adds shine to the hair.  
  1. Biotin may also help prevent hair loss. If someone has biotin deficiency, biotin supplementation may prevent hair loss and promote hair growth. 
  1.  Biotin can help your hair look thicker and fuller as biotin strengthens the hair and helps reduce shedding.

How much biotin should you take?

According to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, RDA for biotin is 30 micrograms ( for individuals older than 3 years of age ).
