Biotin, the BEAUTY Vitamin, Hair, Skin, Nails & Thin.
Biotin is also called vitamin H (the H represents Haar und Haut, German words for “hair and skin”) or vitamin B7. The Daily Value (DV) for biotin was established by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration at 300 mcg per day per 2000 calories.
But biotin doses several thousand times the recommended amounts have been used safely. Since biotin is water soluble and excreted, if you drink plenty of water it is extremely unlikely that dietary biotin presents any health risk.
Larger doses of biotin have been shown to increase nail thickness by 40% and repair brittle hair and split ends. Biotin also plays a very vital function in metabolism and thus it can help you to burn body fat and lose weight. Since biotin can greatly help with metabolism, it will boost your energy level. But again it is very important to drink plenty of water because you will need water to process the fat into energy. Also as body fat is burned or used up, trapped toxins will be released. You will also meed plenty of water to flush out these toxins from the body.
