- All the Benefits of Biotin for Hair Health and Beauty
One of the reasons why hair may appear weaker, fragile, and dull could be due to a lack of biotin.
What is Biotin?
Also known as vitamin B8 or vitamin H, biotin is an essential micronutrient that contributes to the formation of fatty acids and facilitates the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates.
Biotin promotes the body’s cells’ use of other B-group vitamins, such as folic acid and cobalamin, and proves indispensable for the growth and development of certain skin appendages (especially those with a high cellular turnover, like nails, skin, and hair).
What are the Properties and Benefits of Biotin for Hair?
In addition to contributing to the overall well-being of the entire body, biotin is undoubtedly one of the most well-known – and used – vitamins in the beauty world, thanks to its numerous beneficial functions:
- It promotes the synthesis of keratin, one of the main components of the hair fiber. This protein is necessary for the protection and structural maintenance of the shaft, providing it with strength and elasticity.
- It normalizes sebum production, restoring the hydrolipidic film to its physiological balance and thus preserving the integrity of the scalp.
- It stimulates microcirculation and promotes oxygenation of the hair follicle, providing nourishment to the shaft and ensuring proper hair growth.
- It evens out the hair fiber and improves its density, with visible effects on the volume of the hair.
Which Foods are Rich in Biotin?
Biotin is part of the water-soluble vitamins, which means they cannot be stored in the body and must be regularly supplemented from the outside. Some biotin-rich foods include meat, fish, and eggs, as well as numerous vegetables and plants such as spinach, carrots, tomatoes, apples, and sweet potatoes.
Nuts and dried fruits are particularly rich in biotin, in addition to providing a good supply of iron, magnesium, and potassium, essential nutrients that contribute to keeping the hair perfect and always healthy.
How to Incorporate Biotin into Your Beauty Routine?
A balanced diet is essential to allow hair to receive all the nutrients they need to be strong, healthy, and shiny. However, nutrition may not be sufficient in some cases. In these situations, it’s possible to introduce specific supplements for hair health, chosen based on your needs.
CRLAB Vitamins and Minerals is a complete vitamin complex, a true beauty cocktail enriched with biotin, zinc, and magnesium, essential micronutrients in the natural life cycle of hair follicles.
Vitamin C counteracts the negative effects of free radicals, highly unstable molecules responsible for the premature deterioration of tissues, while arginine and vitamin D deeply moisturize the hair fiber and promote the growth of new hair for thick and protected hair.
For a complete and effective action, it is recommended to combine the supplements with the use of specific hair treatments, such as the CRLAB Hair Loss Prevention Line, which combats hair loss and promotes growth thanks to its strengthening and densifying action.
The entire line is formulated with targeted and carefully selected active ingredients, such as apple stem cell extracts, which stimulate the active growth phase; and hydrolyzed yeast proteins, known for their fortifying and protective properties.
