Nutracology Biotin 10mg Capsule

Beautiful hair needs good nutrition. If you are suffering from thinning hair, bald patches (alopecia), or dry and brittle hair you need biotin and calcium. This combination thickens the hair strands and promotes the healthy growth of hair.

Biotin can either be ingested in food or produced by the flora in the intestines. So, when you have inflammatory bowel disease or any other intestinal problems, you may not be able to make enough biotin naturally. Biotin deficiencies can cause dry skin, brittle nails, thinning hair, and a characteristic red scaly rash around the eyes, nose, and mouth. It can also cause depression, exhaustion, conjunctivitis, and tingling in the arms and legs.

Biotin is essential for proper metabolism. When your metabolism is slow, you do not produce enough energy from the food you eat. You feel sluggish, moody, and dull. The Greek word ‘biotos’ means sustenance of life and biotin is important for the sustenance of good health. Biotin helps the body convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. It supports cellular function, healthy metabolism and boosts your energy. Since it is water soluble, you should take enough of this vitamin every day. Biotin-rich foods include oats, cooked egg yolks, milk, cheese, carrots, apples, wheat germ, white mushrooms, tomatoes, lettuce, and chicken.

You may know that keratin makes hair stronger. But did you know that it is essential for your skin as well? Keratin is a protein that provides support and a protective barrier on the surface of the skin. It is also essential for the growth and health of the nails and hair. Biotin helps keratin form a proper strong keratin structure on the surface of the hair, skin, and nails and protects them from friction. Biotin is also important for the bones, muscles, eyes, tendons, ligaments, and the linings of the organs of the body.

Calcium is a mineral that is used to grow and maintain strong bones and teeth. It is also essential for the health of the heart, nerves, and blood clotting systems. Calcium is also needed for the structural components of the body, such as hair, skin, and nails. When there is inadequate calcium in the body, it can cause hair issues, brittle nails, and fragile, dull-looking skin.

Our bones bear the weight of the entire body. When we have healthy bones, we stay active and healthy. People with calcium deficiencies have weak and brittle bones. As we age, the bone loss in the body accelerates. Prevent bone loss by having an adequate calcium intake. Enough calcium intake helps prevent PMS symptoms (premenstrual syndrome) and moodiness. Calcium helps support the elasticity of the skin. It also regulates muscle contractions, including the beating of the heart. Calcium can be found in tofu, almonds, bony fish, dairy foods, fortified foods, sweet potatoes, dried figs, kiwi, and papaya.
