Biotin (Vitamin B7)
Biotin acts as a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes that help the body metabolize fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, which may support keratin infrastructure in hair, skin, and nails.
Caution: Very high doses may skew some lab test results, including certain hormone and cardiac markers, so inform your healthcare provider before blood tests; if pregnant, consult a healthcare professional first.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Use only if the bottle seal is intact. If pregnant, consult a healthcare practitioner before use. Biotin supplementation may interfere with certain lab tests; consult a healthcare practitioner before blood tests.
Who should be cautious: People who have upcoming lab tests, including thyroid or cardiac markers, may need caution due to possible test interference. Those who are pregnant should discuss use with a healthcare practitioner. Given the high biotin amount, consult a healthcare provider if you take medications that may interact with biotin or if you have health concerns.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Foundational
- Skin/Hair
- Gluten Free
Biotin provides a high amount of biotin (also sometimes called vitamin B7) per capsule. Biotin's benefit for fingernail strength was demonstrated in a clinical trial, where 45 patients with brittle nails received oral supplementation of 2.5 mg biotin for 1.5-7 months. Ninety-one percent showed "definite improvement," exhibiting firmer, harder fingernails after an average of two months of supplementation. Biotin also supports healthy skin, hair, and nerve function. Biotin in a higher amount, like in Thorne's Biotin, promotes glucose metabolism by stimulating glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells and by accelerating glucose metabolism in the liver. Similarly, biotin can enhance muscle insulin sensitivity by increasing the uptake of glucose by muscle cells.
