What is the role of Biotin in skin health?

SKINFUDGE Clinics

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin that is important for the health of the skin, hair, and nails. It is a coenzyme that plays a role in the metabolism of fatty acids and the production of glucose.

There is some evidence that biotin may have specific benefits for the skin. For example:

  • Biotin may help to improve the appearance of dry, flaky skin by supporting the production of healthy oils in the skin.

  • Biotin may help to support the production of collagen, a protein that is important for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.

  • Biotin may help to improve the appearance of brittle nails by strengthening the nail bed.

It is important to note that biotin is just one factor that can affect the health of the skin, hair, and nails. A healthy diet and good skincare routine are also important for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. It is always best to consult a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen.
