Reason 1: Dermatologists Are Right, Biotin Alone Doesn't Help With Hair Loss — But This Does
Dermatologists will all tell you the same thing: biotin doesn't work for hair growth in healthy adults. And they're right.
If you're a healthy woman and you take 10,000 mcg of biotin alone, your body absorbs only a tiny amount (about 30 mcg) and flushes the rest.
That means you're peeing out 99.7% of it. So why does every drugstore shelf still carry biotin gummies?
Because of one study conducted in the 90s that has never been replicated. And it's propping up a $1.95 billion biotin industry.
What dermatologists often fail to add is that your hair needs biotin for hair growth. But it takes more than one single ingredient to make the biotin work on your hair follicles.
