What is Biotin?
Biotin is also called vitamin-B7and also as vitamin-H, its involvement in the metabolic process, and also has a connection with hairs nails, and skin, its deficiencies can cause hair thinning and brittle fingernails
let's see
Where it occurs?
It's widely available in nature and a lot of food products have its presence, course in very small amounts some very rich sources are given below
Chicken liver 187 ug / 100-gram
Beef liver 42 ug / 100-gram
Eggs 21 ug / 100-gram
Peanuts 17.5 ug / 100-gram
Almond 4.4 ug / 100-gram
Oats 27 ug / 100-gram
Tomato 4.0 ug /100-gram
Spinach 6.9 ug / 100-gram
Carrot 5.0 ug / 100-gram
Wheat germ 17 ug / 100-gram

What are our daily requirements?
Recommended Daily Allowances for this vitamin is
For adults 30-mcg
For women, breastfeeding 35-mcg
1-mcg = 1-ug
So what you can see although it's available in nature but in very small quantities and very easily
deficiencies can happen
Biotin in supplements
What you have to look for a supplement containing biotin,, zinc, vitamin -C, and folic acid
and experts suggest that it should be somewhat close to this formulation
Biotin 3-mg
Vitamin-C 200-mg
Zinc 30-mg
Folic acid less than 1-mg
If by chance you could not get a similar formulation in your vitamin- B complex tablet, you
can always add extra, whatever seems to be short their, more often they may be zinc and
vitamin-C
What is the role of biotin with respect to hair fall?
There is not much research on this account, but whatever very little research information
we have that indicates that it has some good connection with hairs, its deficiency can lead
to hair fall., but whether taking in excess can help in hair growth, we are not sure as we
don't have much support from the research side, now the question comes if we take more
-one study confirms, that a marine protein supplement pill, which was containing biotin
along with other ingredients has shown hair growth, but we can not conclude that it
happened because of biotin as the pill was having other ingredients
-in another study again its same effects but here again it was not done on biotin alone
What should be the doses?
As we do not have much information better stick to recommended doses levels, and if you
want to increase them then ask or inform your doctor
What side reactions and risk factors?
Normally most of the people who take biotin supplements do not have any kind of side
effects, but few cases are reported with very minor side effects such as
-nausea
-diarrhea
-cramping
but if you develop any kind of skin rashes, just stop your supplement and contact to the doctor
How long it will take to show any positive results?
The two above studies, which are done only for 90-days, so it means some benefits
should appear in 60-days of time.
What we expect to happen?
-hair fall should slow down
-hair growth can occur
-more shin in hairs
-overall hair quality will improve
-increase the thickness of hairs
What can be other benefits of biotin?
Of course, main we are looking good for hairs, but along with hairs it can do some
good in other areas so what they are
-increases the good cholesterol, HDL and reduces bad cholesterol, LDL
-it helps in lowering blood sugar in the cases of diabetics
-it reduces inflammation
-it improves cognitive function
-in diabetic nerve pain
Biotin in topical application
So, what we have discussed up to now is biotin as an oral medicine for the control of hair fall
now the question comes that can it be used topically, means can it be absorbed from the scalp
so research points out about this,(3)
As we said earlier also and again now that no proper research studies have been done on
this, and whatever information we have is only a probability, so let's see what experts
believe
The experts are in the opinion that its possible and biotin can be absorbed from the scalp and
also, it works, means reduce the hair fall and also promote hair growth, and also experts
believe that egg works because it's very rich in biotin
A lot of commercial preparations or, Scalp-oils, Leave-in-sprays, Shampoos, and hair
conditioners all claims that they have biotin in their product and it will work, some also
claims that they have natural mean natural biotin, so again go to their labels, read the
instructions very properly before use
So, where do we stand from this blog, How to Reduce Hair Fall Naturally, biotin is very
important really helps, at least it not only works in the prevention of hair fall but also
contributes in a big way for hair growth, it also occurs in very good amounts in eggs,
and by the way that's natural biotin, so you have other options like taking a supplement
containing biotin, using biotin-oils is another way for reducing this hair fall, we very
strongly recommend using some preparation containing biotin for long term benefits
