How Biotin Supports Hair Growth

  • Boosts Keratin Production

    • Biotin helps the body synthesize keratin, the structural protein that makes up the hair shaft. Healthy keratin production improves the strength, texture, and elasticity of hair strands, reducing breakage and split ends.
  • Improves Cellular Metabolism

    • Biotin acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose, providing energy to hair follicles. This enhanced cellular activity promotes new hair growth and helps maintain the hair growth cycle.
  • Prevents Hair Thinning and Loss

    • A deficiency in biotin can lead to hair thinning, shedding, or brittle hair. Supplementing with biotin restores nutrient levels and encourages follicles to resume healthy growth.
    • Biotin deficiency is rare, but individuals with poor diets, certain medical conditions, or genetics may benefit from supplementation.
  • Supports Scalp Health

    • A healthy scalp is essential for optimal hair growth. Biotin promotes blood flow to the scalp, ensuring hair follicles receive essential nutrients and oxygen to function properly.
  • Enhances Hair Structure and Shine

    • Biotin strengthens the hair cortex (inner part of the hair shaft), leading to more durable, thicker strands with enhanced shine and texture. This is particularly useful for people experiencing dull or brittle hair.
