Scientific background

Independent research

Biotin

Biotin is a B vitamin involved in fat, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. EFSA set an adequate intake of 40 µg a day for adults¹.

Research evidence

Independent research

Biotin

Authorised EU claims include that biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal skin, and to normal energy-yielding metabolism². Evidence that extra biotin improves hair growth in people who are not deficient is lacking.

Evidence limitations

Independent research

No published study has tested this specific product; the research summarised here concerns the ingredient itself.

Biotin

The authorised claims refer to maintenance of normal function, not to treatment of hair loss.
