What is Biotin?

Biotin is the naturally occurring vitamin that falls under the B Complex umbrella of vitamins and can be found in many different food types. Also known as Vitamin H, it supports your body to convert food into energy. Taking carbohydrates and making glucose is one of the main jobs for Biotin, it’s not stored in the body though so you need to keep it topped up. The word ‘Biotin’ is actually derived from the ancient Greek word “biotis”, which translates to “sustenance” or “life”. We think the Ancient Greeks are definitely onto something here! Biotin is a crucial nutrient that we often forget about, but it supports our skin, nails, hair, and overall health. Like all vitamins, there is a risk of not getting enough of Biotin from your natural diet - which is where we come in! Taking a natural Biotin supplement is easy even when you’re on-the-go, and with the Good Vitamin Co. Biotin Gummies, you can get your daily dose of without having to cook a biotin-rich meal.

 

Hair, Hair, Beautiful Hair!

There is nothing better than a good hair day! Waking up and meeting yourself in the mirror with locks that are luscious, thick, and shiny is the best start to any day of the week. Biotin supplements support the production of keratin for your hair, they also may offer support for your scalp, reducing itchiness and dandruff. If you are very good and take your Good Vitamin Co. Biotin Gummies on the regular, you may even encourage your hair to grow faster and thicker! It is generally recommended that you get your daily Biotin needs orally, so these little chewy numbers are just the ticket. 

 

Nailing It With Biotin Supplements

Our hands say so much about how we take care of ourselves and tatty, brittle nails can let you down when you are reaching for your latte - or a promotion! However, if you are getting all the Biotin you need each day from the Good Vitamin Co. Biotin Gummies you could see good results in the condition of your nails very quickly. The fatty acids that are supported in the body when your Biotin levels are at an optimum level are thought to produce stronger nails with less breakage or ridging. Each Biotin Gummy contains 2.5mg of Biotin, which sits nicely within the recommended daily range for adults, it’s such an easy way to support your nail health!

 

Which Foods Contain Biotin?

Many foods are rich in natural Biotin, but the way these foods are processed can oftentimes reduce the levels or impede the absorption potential of the Biotin by your body. Taking the Good Vitamin Co. Biotin supplement provides you with peace of mind because one Gummy every day will ensure that you are always getting a healthy dose. Most naturally occurring Biotin is bound to protein, so it can be harder for vegetarians and vegans to get their fair share of this great stuff into their diets, but there are alternatives to meat that also hold high levels of this crucial vitamin.

 

Biotin-rich foods

We all know the benefits of good nutrition and if you can cook - and have the time to - you may be able to keep on top of all the various vitamins and minerals you need to digest every day so that you have everything on board to live your best life. Lots of us don’t cook, and most of us are pushed for time, so the Good Vitamin Co. Biotin Gummies are an ideal way to supplement your busy lifestyle with those all-important B Vitamins. There are a few foods that some of us do eat every day, such as whole-wheat bread, milk, and cheddar cheese that contain some Biotin. When you are looking at grabbing some fruit for your lunch you can get a little Biotin when you reach for a banana or an apple.

 

Biotin Supplements for Vegans and Meat Eaters

When it comes to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle you may be working even harder to keep your Biotin levels where they should be. You can get a touch of Biotin when you scatter some sunflower seeds or roasted almonds on your salad, sweet potatoes are a good source, and topping up with spinach or broccoli will help you hit that sweet spot. For the meat-eaters, you want to reach for the liver or kidney first (do you really though?!), and you can get a bit of Biotin into your diet with cooked whole eggs - plus pork or beef will top you up somewhat. If you want to do your body a favour, reach for the Biotin supplement NZ’ers love, every Good Vitamin Co. Biotin Gummy is vegan, gluten-free, and halal certified.
