Shop biotin supplements at Evergreen, with tablets and capsules from trusted brands. Also known as vitamin B7, biotin supports normal energy metabolism and the maintenance of normal hair and skin.

Biotin Supplements & Vitamin B7

Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin best known for its role in helping maintain normal hair and skin. It's also involved in the way your body uses nutrients from food.

Also known as vitamin B7, biotin is found naturally in a variety of foods and is available in individual supplements as well as B complex and hair, skin and nail formulas.

At Evergreen, you'll find biotin supplements in different strengths and formats from trusted supplement brands.

What Is Biotin?

Biotin is one of the eight recognised B vitamins and is sometimes referred to as vitamin B7. Like the other B vitamins, it's water-soluble. Biotin contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal nervous system and psychological function. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and mucous membranes.

Is Biotin Good for Hair?

Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, which is why you'll often find it included in supplements designed for hair, skin and nails. It's important, however, to distinguish this from claims that taking additional biotin will make hair grow faster or prevent hair loss.

Hair health can be influenced by many factors, including diet, age, hormones, stress and overall health. If you're experiencing significant or unexplained hair loss, speak to your GP or another healthcare professional.

What About Biotin for Skin and Nails?

Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. Although biotin is also widely associated with nail supplements, the authorised nutritional claim for biotin relates specifically to the maintenance of normal hair and skin.

If you're looking for a broader combination of nutrients, you can also explore our Hair, Skin & Nails Supplements, which may combine biotin with nutrients such as zinc, selenium and vitamin C.

What Foods Contain Biotin?

Biotin occurs naturally in a variety of foods. Sources include eggs, nuts, seeds, fish, meat and some vegetables. A varied and balanced diet will normally provide biotin alongside the other B vitamins your body needs.

Choosing a Biotin Supplement

When comparing biotin supplements, consider the strength, format and whether you want biotin on its own or combined with other nutrients.

Biotin Tablets and Capsules

Tablets and capsules provide a convenient way to take biotin and are available in different strengths.

Compare the amount of biotin per recommended daily serving rather than simply choosing the highest-strength product.

Biotin in Hair, Skin & Nail Supplements

Biotin is frequently combined with other nutrients in Hair, Skin & Nails Supplements.

These combination formulas may be useful if you're looking for several nutrients together, while an individual biotin supplement allows you to focus specifically on vitamin B7.

Biotin and Collagen

Biotin and collagen are also frequently combined in beauty supplements, but they're different nutrients with different roles.

Biotin is a vitamin, while collagen is a protein. Some beauty formulas contain both alongside nutrients such as vitamin C, zinc or hyaluronic acid.

You can explore our Beauty Supplements range if you're looking for a combination formula rather than biotin on its own.

Biotin or B Complex?

Biotin can be taken individually or as part of a Vitamin B Complex. A B complex combines several B vitamins in one formula, whereas an individual biotin supplement lets you choose a specific amount of vitamin B7.

Check your existing supplements before adding biotin, as multivitamins, B complexes and beauty supplements may already contain it.
