Since regular Biotin supplementation may lead to Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) deficiency, the HealthAid® Biotin 5000mcg Capsules are fortified with high strength Vitamin B5, which contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal mental performance, to energy-yielding metabolism, and metabolism of steroid hormones (sex hormones and adrenal hormones), thus promoting hormonal balance in both men and women. Like Biotin, Vitamin B5 also promotes healthy hair, skin and nails. Shriver, B. J., Roman-Shriver, C., and Allred, J. B.

When taken at high doses, excess B vitamins are typically flushed out via your urine. However, it’s possible that there simply hasn’t been enough research on the potential side effects of taking too much ( 1). It’s possible to get all the biotin you need, simply by eating a healthy, balanced diet, as there’s a wide range of biotin-rich food out there (the examples above are literally the tip of the iceberg). Biotin deficiencies are rare and it’s impossible to have too much of it in your system because your body naturally gets rid of an excess biotin when you urinate.
