Metabolics Liquid Biotin has been launched alongside Biotin capsules to offer a more flexible dose. The recommended half a teaspoon (2.5ml) dose delivers 500 ug D-Biotin (1000% NRV) can be amended by your healthcare practitioner to deliver a dose more appropriate to your specific requirements.
WHAT IS LIQUID BIOTIN GOOD FOR?
Biotin plays a vital role in the conversion of food into energy and contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients – carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This means that biotin is instrumental in energy support by facilitating the effective utilisation of glucose from carbohydrates for energy, utilising amino acids from proteins for growth and repair, and processing fatty acids from fats to support cell structures and insulation.
Furthermore, biotin contributes to the upkeep of healthy hair, skin, and mucous membranes, as outlined in the EFSA article “Scientific Opinion on the substantiation of health claims related to biotin and maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes (ID 121), maintenance of normal hair (ID 121), maintenance of normal bone (ID 121), maintenance of normal teeth (ID 121), maintenance of normal nails (ID 121, 2877), reduction of tiredness and fatigue (ID 119), contribution to normal psychological functions (ID 120) and contribution to normal macronutrient metabolism (ID 4661) pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006”.
It aids in maintaining skin health by fostering the production of lipids (fats) within skin cells. These lipids are essential for preserving the integrity and functionality of the skin's protective barrier, which safeguards against moisture loss, irritants, and infections. Biotin also assists in the metabolism of amino acids – the fundamental building blocks of proteins – crucial for the formation of new skin cells and the restoration of damaged tissues.
In hair care, biotin is closely linked with promoting robust hair growth and preventing hair loss. It plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of keratin, a protein that constitutes the structural foundation of hair. Optimal biotin levels ensure the proper production of keratin, contributing to the development of resilient, radiant hair. Additionally, biotin enhances the overall infrastructure of hair follicles, bolstering their strength and resilience.
Mucous membranes, which line various body parts like the mouth, nose, digestive tract, and urinary tract, receive support from biotin as well. By encouraging the production of mucins – proteins that constitute the protective mucus layer – biotin helps maintain the integrity of these membranes. This protective layer aids in trapping foreign particles, lubricating tissues, and safeguarding against pathogens and irritants.
