Each capsule of Biotin 5000 contains 5000 μg (micrograms) of biotin, which is another way to denote 5 mg (milligrams). Each capsule of Biotin Blast® contains 100 mg of biotin.
Biotin is an essential coenzyme for a variety of carboxylation reactions, including the activation of acetylCoA carboxylase, a crucial enzyme in the normal, healthy synthesis of myelin. Biotin is involved in the metabolism of fats, sugars and amino acids. Biotin is crucial for the utilization of glucose for energy, the breakdown and utilization of fatty acids in energy production, and the synthesis of protein from amino acids.

Both long-standing anecdotal evidence and preliminary scientific evidence show that biotin plays a role in supporting the health of the hair, skin, and nails. Combined with nutritional chromium, biotin may support normal, healthy blood sugar levels.
Biotin is one of the B vitamins, which are specific water-soluble nutrients essential for human health. The B vitamins are grouped together more because of history rather than because of functional relevance. Biotin has had many other names, including vitamin B7, vitamin H, and ‘W Factor’.
