It is also known as B7 and it is essential for a variety of metabolic processes in the body, such as the synthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. Biotin also aids in the conversion of food into energy, the synthesis of hormones, and the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and nails.
Did you know that biotin or Vitamin B7 interferes with approximately 150 lab tests? Thus, is biotin a bad supplement? Certainly NOT! It just interferes with the testing process for various lab assays and can skew a variety of lab results. Especially TSH, T4, T3.
The general recommendation is to stop biotin 1 week before having any lab tests drawn.
Just FYI: Biotin in food is not problematic – it’s just the supplement because the doses are very high and those doses are not found in foods!
We offer Biotin injections and through infusions. As with anything else, check with your doctor if you should not take Biotin.
