Vitamin Supplement Biotin Capsule

1.Mechanism of action:

Biotin (Vitamin B7/H) is an essential water-soluble vitamin, core function is to act as a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes, participating in fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, gluconeogenesis and macronutrient metabolism, promoting energy-yielding reactions, improving energy metabolism efficiency. It supports epidermal cell growth/differentiation, enhances keratin structure of hair roots and nail matrix, improves hair follicle and nail bed nutrition supply, prevents hair loss and brittle nails; water-soluble, no body storage, oral absorption fast, capsule form avoids taste irritation, high compliance and bioavailability, no liver and kidney burden, high safety and biocompatibility.

2.Indications:
