- Form
- D-Biotin · 0.9 mg
Origin
A water-soluble B vitamin.
Why it is here
900 mcg (600% RDI) — chosen instead of the 5,000–10,000 mcg often seen, because very high biotin interferes with some blood tests and the added benefit of mega-doses in people who are not deficient is unclear.
Permitted wording on the label
“Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair”

Egg yolk, liver, nuts, salmon
