The Science of Biotin for Hair Loss

The Science of Biotin Supplements for Hair Loss

 

Is biotin really good for your hair?

It sure is! One of the primary benefits of biotin is that it encourages hair regrowth and leads to thicker, stronger hair. Biotin plays an important part in the production of fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin, hair, and overall health.

Biotin is part of the Vitamin B complex; B vitamins are essential for strong, healthy, and silky hair. Low levels of B vitamins, particularly biotin, can leave your hair looking dull and unruly, and providing adequate amounts of biotin in your diet can help you combat those symptoms. Biotin takes part in the synthesis of collagen, the protein that protects hair follicles from damage and helps prevent premature greying. Biotin can also target scalp irritation and increase blood flow to the scalp — and as we all know, a healthy scalp is essential to maintaining healthy hair.

B vitamins also work to boost the activity of enzymes that break down the fatty oil in sebum, the substance that contributes to scalp disorders like dandruff. In doing so, they target conditions that can affect the scalp and hair, such as dermatitis, eczema, baldness, or even cradle cap in infants.

Men and women alike can benefit from taking biotin for thinning hair. Hair health specialists commonly recommend the use of biotin for postpartum hair loss. Biotin menopause hair loss treatment can also produce significant results. At every stage of our life, keeping our biotin levels high is crucial to achieving and maintaining optimal hair condition, as well as preventing excessive hair shedding. 

While biotin can be found in foods many of us eat daily, such as nuts, legumes, lean meats, eggs and whole grains, maintaining adequate biotin levels for hair growth is not always easy, especially if you are vegetarian or vegan. This is where a biotin supplement can help. Our Biotin supplements found in the Biotin Brilliance or The Biotin Hair Care Plan have been expertly formulated with high strength biotin 10,000mcg alongside other vitamins and nutrients including folic acid and vitamin B12 to contribute to the maintenance of normal hair and skin. You can benefit from incorporating this powerful supplement into your daily diet to promote optimal hair growth, especially if you experience hair loss or dry, brittle hair.

What should you expect to happen?

Biotin for strong healthy hair

Each of our biotin products contain ingredients that contribute to these results. However, you shouldn’t rely on supplements alone to improve the condition of your hair. Your hair condition goes hand in hand with your overall health. Always take care to follow a balanced lifestyle and consume a nutrient-rich diet alongside your biotin hair care supplements.

The 3-step Biotin Hair Care Plan is built up of 3 main supplements to encourage healthy hair: Biotin Brilliance, Super Greens & Everyday Wellness. All of these products are available to purchase separately or have been combined as part of our specialist 3-step plan for added health benefits.

Biotin Brilliance is a food supplement containing high dose biotin for hair regrowth and to help maintain your hair in peak condition. It is formulated with carefully selected nutrients to bring your hair and skin to their full glory, giving you the glow and shine you deserve.

Super Greens is a food supplement included within the 3-step plan containing a blend of organic seaweed and botanicals. Natural Iodine contained in seaweed contributes to the normal cognitive function and functioning of your nervous system. Iodine also improves your metabolism and works to maintain healthy skin and normal thyroid hormone levels.

The final ingredient in the 3-step plan is Everyday Wellness, a supplement containing a blend of six beneficial bacteria including bifidobacteria, lactobacillus and streptococcus plus FOS in an acid-resistant capsule shell.

While taken in conjunction with a balanced diet, the Biotin Hair Care Plan will work to: 

  • Maintain healthy hair & skin
  • Support & protect natural hair colour
  • Alleviate eczema and dermatitis
  • Improve condition of scalp
  • Target age related hair thinning
  • Help you reduce stress, a known contributor to various hair problems.
