Biotin Injections

---

Biotin, also known as B7, is a water-soluble vitamin found in foods such as eggs, milk, and bananas. This vitamin is important for overall health, and plays a role in cell growth, carbohydrate metabolism and fatty acid synthesis. Biotin, also known as B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that can be found in various foods like eggs, milk and bananas. It plays a crucial role in cell growth, carbohydrate metabolism and fatty acid synthesis, playing a key role in supporting overall health. Biotin is involved in metabolic processes related to the utilization of fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids, while also influencing cell growth and blood sugar levels. People often take biotin supplements for hair loss, brittle nails, and nerve damage. Additionally, biotin is believed to have anti-inflammatory effects, improve cognitive function, raise HDL (good) cholesterol and lower LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Biotin deficiency can cause issues such as hair loss, skin problems, and neurological symptoms. Although it’s uncommon to have low biotin levels since only a small amount is needed for proper function, it is still possible. Unlike other vitamin deficiencies, there isn’t a reliable lab test for detecting low biotin levels, so it’s best identified through symptoms. These symptoms may include thinning hair, red/scaly rash around the nose, eyes, and mouth, depression, fatigue, hallucinations and tingling sensations in the arms and legs.

Biotin IM injections are beneficial for conditions like skin rashes, brittle nails, thinning hair, diabetes, and nerve pain, particularly in cases of acute deficiency. While oral biotin supplements are commonly used to promote hair growth and strengthen nails, injections are more effective when immediate results are desired. Injections allow for maximum absorption of the vitamin directly into the body, bypassing the digestive system’s metabolic processes that can affect the bioavailability of oral supplements. Best results are once weekly!
