Biotin is the first name on the Gelagen label. The brand says it supports keratin production, the base of healthy-looking skin, hair and nails.*
What biotin is
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin, also called vitamin B7. The body uses it every day, and because it is water-soluble it does not stay in storage for long. That is why daily intake is the usual idea.
Why keratin matters
Keratin is a tough protein. Hair strands and nails are made mostly of it, and the outer layer of skin uses it too. A vitamin tied to keratin therefore fits a gummy made for all three.
Where you find it in food
Eggs, almonds, sweet potatoes, salmon and seeds carry biotin. A varied plate is still the best foundation for hair, skin and nails.
