Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is an essential vitamin that plays a critical role in several physiological functions, including fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis. It acts as a cofactor for the enzymatic carboxylation of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA. Biotin influences the growth and differentiation of epidermal cells, making it crucial for the formation and renewal of skin, hair, and nails. In hair roots, it functions as a coenzyme for mitochondrial carboxylases, enhancing keratin structure. Biotin deficiency can lead to hair loss and systemic symptoms such as dermatitis and aciduria. It is widely prescribed for various types of hair loss.
Bioprem is indicated for:
Biotin deficiency is rare in the United States, but symptoms can include:
If you experience these symptoms, consult your healthcare provider, who can diagnose the deficiency through symptom analysis and lab tests. Addressing the deficiency through diet or supplements is crucial.
Certain conditions increase the risk of biotin deficiency, including:
Additionally, those receiving parenteral nutrition without biotin are at higher risk.
Certain medications can lead to biotin deficiency, including anticonvulsants and antibiotics that disrupt gut bacteria.
Biotin is well-known for its potential to strengthen hair and nails. While much of the support is anecdotal, some scientific evidence backs these claims.
Hair Growth
Biotin is often promoted as a treatment for hair loss. It may help if the hair loss is due to a confirmed biotin deficiency.
Strengthening Nails
Biotin supplements can treat brittle nails and conditions like trachyonychia (rough nails). Clinical trials suggest biotin can improve nail firmness, hardness, and thickness, though more research is needed.
Biotin is generally well-tolerated, even at high doses, but it can interfere with lab tests, leading to false readings. Tests affected include those for thyroid levels, vitamin D, reproductive hormones, cardiac health, and immunosuppressive drugs. Consult your healthcare provider before starting supplements and inform them before lab tests.
The recommended daily intake of biotin for adults is 30 micrograms (mcg). Sources include:
Most people in the United States get enough biotin from their diet.
Anticonvulsant drugs may lower plasma levels of Bioprem. Antibiotics may reduce the contribution of Bioprem by the microflora of the large intestine. Excessive consumption of raw egg whites can interfere with Bioprem absorption.
Bioprem is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.
There is insufficient clinical data on the use of Bioprem in pregnant and lactating women.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
