Solaray - Biotin Two-Stage Timed-Release 5000 mcg. - 60 Vegetarian Capsules

Solaray Two Stage Timed Release Biotin contains 5,000 mcg of biotin. Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Biotin is an essential B vitamin that plays a vital role as a coenzyme involved in protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. It is also important to support healthy hair and fingernails.

This product is formulated using a two-stage, timed-release technology. The formula is designed to release half of the Biotin in this product rapidly and the other half gradually over a period of up to 6 hours. The two-stage, timed-release technology helps to extend the availability of Biotin to the body over a longer period of time. Biotin is intended to provide nutritive support as a coenzyme involved in protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. It is also intended to provide nutritive support for healthy hair and fingernails.

The ideal intake of biotin is unknown. However, the amount of biotin found in most diets, combined with intestinal production, appears to be adequate for preventing deficiency symptoms. Researchers have estimated that 30 mcg per day appears to be an adequate intake for adults. Typically, consumption from a Western diet has been estimated to be 30–70 mcg per day. Larger amounts of biotin (8–16 mg per day) may be supportive for people with diabetes by lowering blood glucose levels and by preventing diabetic neuropathy. Biotin in the amount of 2.5 mg per day strengthened the fingernails of two-thirds of a group of people with brittle nails, according to one clinical trial.

Where to Find It
Good dietary sources of biotin include organ meats, oatmeal, egg yolk, soy, mushrooms, bananas, peanuts, and brewer's yeast. Bacteria in the intestine also produce significant amounts of biotin, but evidence is conflicting as to whether biotin produced by intestinal bacteria is present at a location or is in a form that permits significant absorption by the body.

Solaray Means Quality
Every Solaray product is subjected to rigorous testing and screening protocols. The process may vary by ingredient, but typically includes organoleptic (taste, touch, smell) testing to compare it to previous batches, and lab assays for microbial, identity, purity and potency validation. Only when an ingredient has passed all of the required assays is it released to manufacturing. Solaray adheres to all current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) and an independent auditing firm audits Solaray's facilities, laboratory and manufacturing protocols for compliance with the latest regulations.

The Solaray brand employs quality control standards in all areas of product development - from ensuring identification and authenticity by laboratory analysis to screening for microbes, herbicides and pesticides to heavy metal testing. Solaray rejects herbs they suspect are irradiated. Only after Solaray's laboratory analysis program confirms that the herbs meet Solaray's strict standards do they give the product their Green Screened approval.
