What is biotin (vitamin B7)?

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin in the B-complex group that is found in virtually every cell in the body. It acts as a coenzyme and is therefore involved in key metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. The body can store only limited amounts of biotin, which is why a regular intake through the diet is recommended. The terms “vitamin B7” and “vitamin H” refer to the same nutrient.

Biotin for Hair

Hardly any other nutrient is associated with hair as often as biotin—and for good reason:

  • Biotin helps maintain normal hair. This makes biotin one of the nutrients that play a role in hair and skin health.
  • Important to note: A supplement can help ensure an adequate intake, but it is no substitute for a balanced diet. If you notice significant changes in your hair or skin, it’s best to consult a doctor to determine the cause.

Buy Biotin: Tablets, Capsules, and Dosage

Biotin is available in various forms and dosages, ranging from amounts close to the reference intake to high-dose variants.

  • Tablets: A classic option, precisely dosed, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine—such as our Biotin 5 mg.
  • Capsules: Convenient and tasteless, for example, in combination with silicon from bamboo shoot extract in Silicon + Biotin.
  • In a complex: If you’d like to supplement with several B vitamins at once, you’ll also find biotin in the Vitamin B Complex.

Since biotin is water-soluble, the body usually excretes any excess amounts. When comparing products, pay attention to the amount per daily serving and stick to the recommended intake.

When targeted supplementation may be beneficial:

  • if you generally eat few whole grains, nuts, eggs, or dairy products,
  • if you have an unbalanced diet,
  • if you want to specifically ensure adequate nutrition for your skin and hair.

If you’re unsure or have existing health concerns, please consult your doctor before taking this supplement.
