Now Foods Biotin 5000 µg – 120 vegetable capsules, one capsule a day

Now Foods Biotin is a food supplement in which each vegetable capsule contains 5 mg, or 5000 µg, of biotin. Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin, also known as vitamin B7 and vitamin H. The recommended daily dose is one capsule, which provides 10000% of the nutrient reference value (NRV) for biotin. The container holds 120 capsules, or 120 daily doses, so one pack lasts about four months with regular use. The larger pack is convenient for those who use biotin over a longer period and do not want to replace the container every couple of months. The brand owner is the American food supplement manufacturer NOW Foods, a family-owned company since 1968.

Biotin
