Biotin 10,000 mcg Selenium & Zinc
A tablet with biotin in a dosage of 10,000 mcg, supplemented with selenium and zinc. That is the core of this Vit4ever formula. You may know biotin as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, a substance that occurs naturally in small amounts in food, such as in eggs, nuts, and whole grain products. Here you get 10,000 mcg in a single tablet, combined with two minerals that are often mentioned in the same breath as hair, skin, and nails. Convenient for those who would rather not have three separate bottles standing next to each other in the bathroom cabinet.
Why 10,000 mcg biotin per tablet
Many biotin products on the market work with 1,000 or 5,000 mcg each. This tablet contains 10,000 mcg, or 20,000% of the reference intake. Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. In addition, biotin contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, which means that it helps in the processes by which your body gets energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Biotin also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function, two processes that are not directly visible but are constantly running in the background. In addition, biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes and to a normal metabolism of macronutrients.
Zinc from zinc bisglycinate
In addition to biotin, the tablet contains 10 mg of zinc, supplied as zinc bisglycinate. That is zinc bound to the amino acid glycine. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal nails, and zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. Zinc also plays a role in the cell division process, and zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. Zinc also contributes to normal protein synthesis and to normal DNA synthesis. In addition, zinc contributes to a normal metabolism of macronutrients, a normal carbohydrate metabolism, and a normal metabolism of fatty acids, and to the maintenance of normal bones. Zinc also contributes to normal cognitive function and to the maintenance of normal vision.
Selenium as the third building block
The third component is selenium, added here as sodium selenite, with 55 mcg per tablet. Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal nails. In addition, selenium contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Selenium is a trace element of which the body needs small amounts. Selenium contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid gland and to the normal functioning of the immune system. This tablet provides 55 mcg, which corresponds to 100% of the reference intake, an amount that aligns with what is considered common in most European supplements. By the way, sodium selenite is one of the most commonly used forms of selenium in supplements, along with, for example, selenomethionine or selenium yeast.
One tablet, a compact routine
With one tablet per day, you combine three substances in a tablet, without having to puzzle with multiple supplements next to each other. In practice, that means: no three dosing cups, no three times a day, but a fixed time at which you take the tablet with a glass of water. The bottle contains 365 tablets, so you basically have enough for a year with one purchase, without having to reorder in between. What many people also ask: can you just take biotin, selenium, and zinc together? You can, provided you stick to the recommended dosage and do not use other products with the same substances in high doses.
