Biotin Vitamin (B7) Injections

Why Have Biotin Injections?

Biotin also known as B7 or vitamin H, is a type of B complex vitamin that occurs naturally in a variety of foods, such as egg yolks, milk and dairy, legumes, nuts, avocados, bananas and organ meats like liver. Biotin helps support a healthy nervous system and improves the basic protein that makes up hair, skin and nails. This is why Biotin is known to help with hair growth and improve the general health of hair, skin and nails. It is also an important part of how enzymes in the body break down substances like fats, protein and carbohydrates into energy.

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, therefore it is not easily stored in the body. Any excess is passed through your system, and regular intake is required to avoid deficiency due to its transient nature. Biotin can be taken in tablet form or given intramuscularly as an injection. Most supplements are not effectively absorbed by our bodies through ingestion, intramuscular Biotin injections have been more effective in increasing Biotin levels faster in many patients.

Benefits of Having Biotin Injections

Although the main known benefit of Biotin is related to hair growth, there are many more benefits as listed below:

Aids in healthy sweat glands
Good for nerve tissue and bone marrow
Supports healthy cell growth, promoting healthy, glowing skin - with additional anti-ageing benefits
Improves acne, eczema and skin conditions
Strengthens hair and helps create Red Blood Cells that carry the nutrition and oxygen to the scalp and hair follicles, thus promoting healthy hair growth.
Aids in preventing hair loss
Promotes nail growth and strengthens dry, brittle nails
Improves blood glucose
Increases metabolism and speeds up weight loss by triggering the reactions needed to turn food into fuel
Boots enzyme production, which in turn supports the metabolisation of fat and carbohydrates
Creates amino acids that play a vital role in building up proteins (cell strength), which has a great effect on rejuvenation
