Overview

Sports Research Biotin 5000mcg delivers biotin (vitamin B7) in organic virgin coconut oil for enhanced fat-soluble absorption. Biotin is the most popular supplement for hair, skin, and nail health, supporting keratin production — the structural protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. The 5000mcg dose is the most common therapeutic dose for hair and nail support. Sports Research's coconut oil delivery system improves bioavailability compared to dry tablets. The 120-softgel count provides a 4-month supply.
