Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Biotin Forte is a vitamin complex containing biotin and other natural nutrients that regulate metabolism, maintain a healthy nervous system, and strengthen hair and nails.
The components of dietary supplements are selected in such a way that they improve the absorption of sulfur, strengthen the immune system, and prolong the youth of the body.
B vitamins normalize cellular metabolism and metabolic processes.
Biotin (vitamin B 7 or vitamin H) is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, metabolism and other vital processes in the body. Normalizes the functioning of the nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract, improves the condition of nails and hair. Biotin interacts with insulin to help regulate and normalize blood sugar levels. When taken regularly, it participates in the assimilation of protein necessary for the regeneration and construction of cells and tissues, and also accelerates the decomposition of fatty acids and, as a result, the burning of fats. Biotin stimulates the production of red blood cells, which supply oxygen to the hair follicles, which is necessary for their health and normal growth. Thus, biotin has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the hair follicles and stimulates hair growth.
