Important Warnings and Cautions
⚠️ DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSE:
- Do not take more than 1 strip per day unless directed by a healthcare professional.
- High-dose biotin (5,000 mcg) can interfere with laboratory test results (see critical warning below).
❌ DO NOT USE IF:
- You are pregnant or nursing (consult physician first)
- You are under the age of 18 (consult physician first)
- You have a known medical condition (consult physician first)
- You are scheduled for lab work or diagnostic testing in the next 48-72 hours (see biotin interference warning below)
🩺 CONSULT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE USE IF YOU:
- Are taking prescription medications (especially those affecting blood sugar, cholesterol, or thyroid function)
- Have thyroid disorders or are taking thyroid medication
- Have diabetes or blood sugar regulation issues
- Have kidney disease or impaired kidney function
- Are taking other supplements containing biotin, folate, or Vitamin D
- Have a history of malabsorption disorders (celiac disease, Crohn's disease, etc.)
🚨 CRITICAL BIOTIN WARNING — LAB TEST INTERFERENCE:
High-dose biotin (5,000 mcg) can cause FALSE RESULTS in laboratory tests, including:
- Thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4) — can falsely appear normal when thyroid disease is present, or falsely appear abnormal when thyroid is healthy
- Cardiac troponin tests (used to diagnose heart attacks) — can cause false negatives, missing life-threatening conditions
- Hormone tests (testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol)
- Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 tests
- Cancer marker tests (PSA, CA-125, etc.)
WHAT YOU MUST DO:
- Discontinue this supplement at least 48-72 hours (ideally 1 week) before any scheduled lab work or diagnostic testing.
- Inform your healthcare provider and laboratory technician that you are taking high-dose biotin.
- If you experience symptoms requiring emergency lab testing (chest pain, shortness of breath, etc.), inform medical staff immediately that you take biotin supplements.
⚠️ POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS:
-
Biotin: Generally well-tolerated, but high doses may cause skin rashes, digestive upset, or insomnia in sensitive individuals.
-
Folate: Excessive intake may mask Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms (which can cause irreversible neurological damage if untreated).
-
Vitamin D3: Excessive intake (from multiple supplement sources combined) can cause hypercalcemia (high blood calcium), nausea, vomiting, kidney problems, or heart rhythm issues.
Storage
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Understanding Hair, Skin, and Nails Supplementation
What Biotin Does:
Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a B-vitamin that supports normal cellular function and plays a role in keratin production — the structural protein found in hair, skin, and nails. Biotin is commonly included in beauty supplements, though its effectiveness varies significantly by individual.
What Folate Does:
Folate (Vitamin B9) supports healthy cell division, red blood cell formation, and DNA synthesis. It plays a role in overall cellular health, which indirectly supports hair, skin, and nail tissue renewal.
What Vitamin D3 Does:
Vitamin D3 supports immune function, calcium metabolism, and overall cellular health. While its direct effects on hair, skin, and nails are less established, it contributes to overall wellness.
Important Considerations:
-
Biotin only helps if you're deficient — most people get adequate biotin from diet (eggs, nuts, seeds, whole grains, fish). If you're not deficient, supplementation may not produce noticeable benefits.
-
Hair, skin, and nail health depends on multiple factors: genetics, nutrition (protein, healthy fats, vitamins A/C/E, zinc, iron, collagen), hydration, stress levels, hormonal balance, and overall health. Supplements alone cannot overcome poor diet, chronic stress, or underlying health conditions.
-
Results take time — hair, skin, and nail cells regenerate slowly. If supplementation is going to help, visible improvements typically take 3-6 months of consistent use.
-
Evidence is mixed — while biotin is widely marketed for hair, skin, and nails, scientific evidence for its effectiveness in non-deficient individuals is limited and inconsistent.
Setting Realistic Expectations
✅ What This Supplement IS:
- A dietary supplement providing Biotin, Folate, and Vitamin D3 to support normal hair, skin, and nail wellness processes
- A convenient oral dissolvable strip format for easy supplementation
- Most beneficial for individuals with confirmed biotin, folate, or Vitamin D deficiency
- A complement to a balanced diet rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals
❌ What This Supplement is NOT:
- NOT a guaranteed solution for hair loss, thinning hair, brittle nails, or skin issues
- NOT a treatment for medical conditions causing hair loss (alopecia, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions)
- NOT a substitute for a balanced diet, adequate protein intake, hydration, or healthy lifestyle habits
- NOT appropriate for pregnant/nursing women, children, or individuals with certain medical conditions without professional guidance
- NOT effective if your hair, skin, or nail issues are caused by factors other than nutrient deficiency (stress, hormonal imbalances, genetics, medical conditions)
When to Consult a Healthcare Provider
Seek professional medical advice if you:
- Are experiencing sudden or significant hair loss (can indicate thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, nutritional deficiencies, or other medical issues)
- Have persistent skin problems (acne, rashes, dryness, discoloration) that don't improve with basic skincare
- Have severely brittle, splitting, or discolored nails (can indicate nutrient deficiencies, fungal infections, or systemic health issues)
- Are scheduled for any laboratory testing (discontinue biotin at least 48-72 hours before testing)
- Have thyroid disorders, diabetes, or kidney disease
- Are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant (folate needs increase significantly during pregnancy, but supplementation should be guided by a healthcare provider)
- Want to determine if supplementation is appropriate for your individual needs (blood testing can identify actual deficiencies)
Understanding Common Causes of Hair, Skin, and Nail Issues
Hair Loss or Thinning Can Be Caused By:
- Hormonal imbalances (thyroid disorders, PCOS, menopause, postpartum)
- Nutritional deficiencies (iron, protein, zinc, Vitamin D, B vitamins)
- Autoimmune conditions (alopecia areata)
- Stress (telogen effluvium)
- Medications (chemotherapy, blood pressure meds, antidepressants)
- Genetics (androgenetic alopecia)
Skin Issues Can Be Caused By:
- Dehydration, poor diet, or nutrient deficiencies
- Hormonal fluctuations (acne, dryness)
- Environmental factors (sun damage, pollution, harsh skincare products)
- Underlying skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rosacea)
- Stress and inadequate sleep
Brittle or Weak Nails Can Be Caused By:
- Nutritional deficiencies (protein, biotin, iron, zinc)
- Frequent exposure to water or harsh chemicals
- Fungal infections
- Underlying health conditions (thyroid disorders, anemia)
Bottom line: If you're experiencing significant hair, skin, or nail issues, supplements are rarely the solution on their own. Consult a healthcare professional (dermatologist, endocrinologist, or primary care physician) to identify and address the root cause.
