How BrandName works
Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, works as a coenzyme in the body, helping enzymes break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins to produce energy. This process supports healthy hair, skin, and nails. By assisting in the metabolism of nutrients, biotin helps strengthen hair and nails, improve skin health, and maintain overall energy levels.
