# Biotin for hair, skin and nails

Read biotin labels and understand the need to disclose supplements before tests.

**What you need to know**

Biotin is a B vitamin found in many beauty supplements. A high-strength label does not establish that a product will reverse hair loss. Tell the clinician arranging blood tests about biotin and other supplements, and follow their instructions.

This is an educational guide. Sanara is not taking orders or preorders. Compare the actual product’s label, suitability and total cost before buying from a retailer.

What to check before buying

## Check the label

- Biotin amount per daily serving
- Additional zinc or selenium
- Laboratory-test warnings

## Directions and pack size

Use only as directed on the finished product’s label or patient information leaflet. Sanara has not verified a specific pack, dose schedule or supply duration for this guide.

## Safety

Do not exceed the recommended dose.
