Ingredients explained
Biotin
Biotin acts as a coenzyme for carboxylase enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis, amino acid metabolism and glucose production, which may support cellular energy and keratin infrastructure in hair, skin and nails.
Caution: High-dose biotin can interfere with certain laboratory tests, so stop use before testing and inform your clinician; consult a professional if pregnant, nursing or taking medicines.
Calcium (as dicalcium phosphate)
Calcium provides an essential mineral involved in nerve signalling, muscle function and bone structure, though at this amount it mainly serves as a carrier for the formula.
Caution: Separate from high-iron supplements if sensitive, as calcium may reduce iron absorption when taken together.
Phosphorus (as dicalcium phosphate)
Phosphorus supports energy production as a component of ATP and contributes to bone mineral matrix, though here it primarily reflects the mineral form used in the capsule.
Caution: High phosphorus intake relative to calcium may affect mineral balance; avoid excessive additional phosphorus from diet or supplements.
How they work together
Biotin supports enzyme systems for macronutrient metabolism and keratin production, while the small amounts of calcium and phosphorus mainly come from the mineral carrier and contribute to overall mineral balance.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medicines, have a medical condition, or if you plan to undergo clinical laboratory testing.

Stop use and consult a healthcare practitioner if adverse reactions occur.

Those on multiple medicines or with ongoing health conditions should discuss use with a healthcare provider. As this product contains 5,000 mcg biotin, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before combining with medicines due to potential interactions.
