Maintenance of Healthy Skin, Hair and Nails

Signs of biotin deficiency can include thinning hair, brittle nails and problem with the skin. Biotin cannot be absorbed though hair or skin, despite being added to products that are applied to these areas, and so must be ingested to have any significant effect. There is some research to suggest that a high dose of biotin can help to strengthen weak hair and nails and this property was first discovered when the vitamin was used to treat brittleness and cracking in the hoofs of horses. Biotin is also a popular supplement with people who want to protect against skin conditions such as acne and dermatitis.
