Difeel Premium Biotin Hair Oil 230 ml

Product Information

However, low water solubility does not necessarily mean high fat solubility. A standard measure of lipophilicity is octanol/water partition coefficient (or its decadic logarithm, log P). Positive means more soluble in octanol (fats), negative means more soluble in water. If this is the case, speak with your physician about how you can incorporate appropriate and safe amounts of biotin into your daily diet. While biotin can be absorbed through the skin, research is limited and dated. Thus, it’s uncertain whether topically applied biotin promotes beard growth ( 10, 11). Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, supports many of your body’s systems, including your nervous system, liver, eyes, hair, and skin. It helps the enzymes in your body carry out their jobs and keeps cells working as they should.

Biotin is necessary for a healthy pregnancy. Studies show that about a third of pregnant women in the U.S. have mild biotin deficiencies, but we need more research to understand why. As some of the biotin will get into your bloodstream, this can interfere with blood tests. Laboratory tests that measure certain hormones in your blood can give false results when there is extra biotin there. This hair oil treatment has biotin as the first main ingredient. Besides that, this OGX product has collagen and hydrolyzed wheat protein. Collagen is great for your hair, and the wheat protein less so, but this is a good mix.Biotin, a B vitamin, is an essential nutrient that is naturally present in some foods and available as a dietary supplement. This water-soluble vitamin is a cofactor for five carboxylases (propionyl-CoA carboxylase, pyruvate carboxylase, methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase [MCC], acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2) that catalyze critical steps in the metabolism of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids [ 1-5]. Biotin also plays key roles in histone modifications, gene regulation (by modifying the activity of transcription factors), and cell signaling [ 3].

Very high intakes of biotin may interfere with diagnostic assays that use biotin-streptavidin technology and are commonly used to measure levels of hormones (such as thyroid hormone) and other analytes such as 25-hydroxyvitamin D, producing falsely normal or abnormal results [ 9, 32]. As a result, a few recent case reports have described findings falsely indicating Graves' disease and severe hyperthyroidism in patients taking 10–300 mg biotin per day, including six children receiving high doses of biotin (2–15 mg/kg body weight per day) to treat inherited metabolic diseases [ 33-37]. Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individualsHowever, it is essential to note that controlled human tests have not confirmed direct causality for either of these findings and that further research is necessary. Some research, including this animal study, suggests that people with type 2 diabetes may benefit from taking biotin supplements to help regulate blood glucose levels. The research so far isn’t conclusive, however. The federal government's 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans notes that "Because foods provide an array of nutrients and other components that have benefits for health, nutritional needs should be met primarily through foods. ... In some cases, fortified foods and dietary supplements are useful when it is not possible otherwise to meet needs for one or more nutrients (e.g., during specific life stages such as pregnancy)."
