Pharmacology

Biotin is an essential vitamin that influences the growth and differentiation of epidermal cells. Therefore Biotin is important for the formation and renewal of the hair, skin and nails. Keratin is a structural protein that connects epithelial cells of hair, skin and nails. It promotes keratinocyte growth and stimulates natural keratin production in hair, skin and nails. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a vitamin like substance with neuroprotective, antiinflammatory and strong antioxidant properties. It improves the blood flow to peripheral nerves with the goal of stimulating nerve fiber regeneration.

Dosage & Administration

Orally, 1-2 tablets daily with water; better to take before meal or as advised by the physician.

Interaction

There are indications that anticonvulsant drugs lower the plasma level of Biotin. Antibiotic use may decrease the Biotin contribution to the body made by the microflora of the large intestine. Excessive consumption of raw egg white interferes with Biotin absorption. Alpha Lipoic Acid may antagonize the action of Cisplatin matrix thus concomitant use should be avoided. Concurrent use of Alpha Lipoic Acid with antidiabetic agents may cause additive hypoglycemic effects.

Contraindications

Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Biotin, Keratin and Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Generally, well tolerated in recommended dose. Occasionally nausea and allergic skin reaction may occur.
