Uses of Nature's Bounty Biotin 5000mcg

Nature’s Bounty Biotin 5000mcg is used to prevent and treat biotin deficiency, which can cause thinning hair, a scaly red rash around the eyes, nose and mouth, and brittle nails. It is also widely taken as a supplement for brittle nails, hair and skin, although there is little evidence that it helps people who are not deficient. True deficiency is uncommon and can occur with some inherited conditions, long-term use of certain epilepsy medicines or prolonged tube feeding.

How Nature's Bounty Biotin 5000mcg works

Biotin, or vitamin B7, works as a helper for enzymes that break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins to release energy. It is also involved in producing keratin, the main structural protein of hair, skin and nails. The body gets most of its biotin from food and gut bacteria.

Possible side effects

Nature’s Bounty Biotin 5000mcg is a water-soluble vitamin and is generally very well tolerated. Occasionally it may cause:

• Mild stomach upset
• Nausea
• Loose stools
• Skin rash (rare)

Stop taking it and seek help if you develop swelling of the face or throat or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor before any blood tests, as high-strength biotin can give falsely high or low results for thyroid, hormone and heart (troponin) tests.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor and the laboratory that you take Nature’s Bounty Biotin 5000mcg before blood tests; you may be asked to stop it for a few days beforehand.
• Hair loss and brittle nails can have many causes, such as iron deficiency or thyroid problems, so see a doctor if they continue.
• Some epilepsy medicines can lower biotin levels, so mention these if you take them.
• Choose products from reputable manufacturers and do not take more than the amount stated on the pack.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your pharmacist or doctor before taking high-strength supplements.
