Biotin

What is Biotin?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in the body’s metabolism and cell health. It is particularly known for its positive effects on hair, skin, and nails, but it also contributes to normal energy metabolism and nerve function.

Fröyja contains biotin in an easily absorbable form, making it simple to get this important vitamin through a convenient and healthy drink.

The Importance of Biotin for Health and Skin

Biotin is essential for several functions in the body:

  • Hair Growth and Strength: Biotin plays a key role in keratin production, which strengthens the hair and may help reduce hair loss.
  • Skin Health: Helps maintain healthy skin by supporting cell renewal and reducing dryness and irritation.
  • Stronger Nails: Biotin contributes to thicker, more resilient nails, reducing the risk of cracks and brittleness.
  • Energy and Metabolism: Helps the body convert food into energy by supporting the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Different Forms of Biotin

Biotin occurs naturally in certain foods and is also available in supplement form. Since the body doesn’t store biotin, it must be replenished regularly through diet or supplements.

Natural Sources of Biotin:

  • Eggs
  • Nuts and seeds
  • Avocados
  • Legumes
  • Whole grains

In Fröyja, you receive biotin in liquid form, which can improve absorption compared to tablets and capsules.

The History of Biotin

Biotin was discovered in the early 1900s when scientists studied substances affecting the skin and hair. It quickly became known as the “beauty vitamin” and is now widely used in supplements and beauty products to promote healthy skin and stronger hair and nails.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Can I get too much biotin?
    Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, which means any excess is excreted through urine and not stored in the body. It is therefore difficult to overdose on biotin.

  2. How long does it take to see results from biotin?
    It may take several weeks to months to notice effects on hair, skin, and nails, as cell renewal occurs gradually.

  3. Is biotin necessary if I already have a balanced diet?
    Most people get enough biotin from their diet, but biotin may be especially beneficial for individuals with deficiencies or those looking to improve their skin, hair, and nails.
