Manufacturer’s Claim
This review will give you more insight of one of the supplements on the market, called Seeking Health Biotin 5. Biotin 5 is intended to help support healthy skin, nails and hair. The manufacturer claims that this product is also intended to support healthy pregnancy, healthy diet and lifestyle, healthy carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and normal synthesis of hormones.
Formula
This supplement contains 5 mg of Biotin. Other ingredients are Cellulose, vegetarian capsule, (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, water), L-leucine,
and silicon dioxide.
Biotin acts as a coenzyme in the body that is needed for the breakdown of fatty acids, amino acids and glucose. When an individual eats foods that are sources of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, biotin must be present in order to convert and use these macronutrients for bodily energy to carry out physical activities and for proper psychological functioning.
Instructions
The manufacturer recommends that you take 1 capsule daily with food or as directed by your healthcare professional. It is not indicated whether you should take it before, with or after meals. It is also not indicated what time of the day you should take it. This kind of information is important, and should be shared with consumers.
Cost
You can purchase Biotin 5 directly from the manufacturer or from online third-party retailers. The manufacturer’s cost is $12.95 for once off purchase, and $12.56 when you subscribe for a monthly delivery. The difference is very little between these prices and it does not make that much of a difference. Either way, you can do what works better for you. The price on third-party retailers is a bit more. One of them charges $14.95 a bottle.
Possible Side Effects
Children, individuals who are pregnant, and those who are breastfeeding should talk to their doctor before using this supplement.
Guarantee
The manufacturer has provided detailed information on their return policy, however, nothing is mentioned about money-back or satisfaction guarantee. This shows that the manufacturer lacks confidence on the effectiveness of their product.
Seeking Health Biotin 5 Supplement Review – The Bottom Line
Seeking Health Biotin 5 could be effective in supporting hair, skin and nails. Many of the consumer reviews that we read on the manufacturer’s website are positive, which is something good because it shows that some people have benefited from the product. We like that this product is suitable for almost everyone, including individuals who do not eat dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and Soy.
Our concern is that we did not find any information about money-back guarantee. Just because Biotin 5 has worked for some individuals, it does not mean that it will work for you as well. The sad thing is that you will not be able to return it and get a refund if it does not work because there is no money-back guarantee or satisfaction guarantee offered to you.
Furthermore, there are only 7 consumer reviews on third-party retailer’s website. Few reviews give an impression that only few consumers have bought and or used Biotin 5. We are hesitant to recommend that you try this supplement. Rather try something that is backed by a guarantee and one that has many consumer reviews.
