Biotin (as d-Biotin)
Vitamin B7 (d-Biotin) Benefits at a Glance:
- Prevents oxidative stress and mitigates cellular damage
- Aids carbohydrate and fat metabolism
- May contribute to healthy hair and nails
- Supports memory and cognitive function
D-Biotin is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B7. It acts as an antioxidant and prevents cellular damage, helps the body metabolize carbs, fats, and proteins, and works alongside the other B vitamins to optimize energy production. Biotin also plays a key role in gene expression by activating and deactivating specific genes, which has a major impact on many bodily processes (especially cell growth, development, and function).
If you’ve ever wanted to speed up or strengthen your hair and nail growth, you’ve probably heard of biotin as a key nutrient to achieve this. That’s because B7 may help strengthen keratin, the primary component that forms hair and nails. Low B7 levels have been associated with short-term memory loss, which suggests it also plays an important role in cognitive function, similar to most other B vitamins.
Vitamin B7 (biotin) is a key nutrient for nervous system, stress and mood support, which we could all use more of in our modern day busy lifestyles.
We use nano-liposomal B7 in our products. This means it’s nano-sized (a tiny particle less than one micron) and can seamlessly enter the membranes through your mouth or skin and bypass the digestive process – which allows it to become up to 200 x more bioavailable. Liposomal delivery further aids absorption by safeguarding vitamin B7 from your body’s natural defenses, so it stays intact until being absorbed at the intended location.
