Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is known for its ability to make hair strong and shiny, preventing hair loss, and strengthening brittle nails. It’s also an essential component in helping the body convert food into energy, and helping to metabolise fats and protein from our food.
For many people, a Vitamin B7 deficiency can lead to significant problems with their skin’s inner health and outer appearance. Dry, itchy skin is one of the most common issues people suffer from, although more serious conditions like acne and eczema can also arise along with tiredness and depression. In most cases, a biotin supplement can correct the issue, helping to create a healthier youthful glow.
Benefits of Biotin Vitamin B7 Injection:
Biotin is a water soluble nutrient so we aren’t able to store it in our body although the bacteria that live in our intestines are able to produce a small amount. Biotin works on the protein called keratin which makes up hair, skin and nails and by supporting the enzymes that break down fat, protein and carbohydrates in our food turning them into energy which in turn may result in weight loss.
Biotin can be taken in a tablet form or given intramuscularly as an injection. Most supplements are not effectively absorbed by our bodies through ingestion and thus intramuscular Biotin injection has been more effective in increasing Biotin levels faster in many patients.
The treatment for Biotin deficiency is quick and easy and very effective. An injection of Biotin is given, usually weekly although more often is safe, into a muscle in your upper arm or your buttock if you prefer. The injection is administered by someone who is specifically trained to do so.
Biotin starts to work immediately but it may take a few days for you to begin to notice the improvement in your symptoms.
Treatment can be short or long term, if you have an ongoing deficiency you could very easily have treatment for the rest of your life.
Most adults can safely have Biotin injections however it isn’t suitable for everyone. To make sure it is safe for you to have Biotin injections please tell your practitioner of you have had an allergic reaction to Biotin or any other medicines in the past High doses of Biotin may affect the results of certain blood tests e.g. Thyroid function tests, please discuss your individual case with your practitioner
Congratulations on beginning your course of Biotin, you’re on your way to looking and feeling better. Hopefully, your injection wasn’t too uncomfortable.
