HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Biotin 10,000 mcg by Exchange Select
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains 2 active ingredients: biotin and keratin. Biotin is a B vitamin your body uses for hair, skin, and nail health, and it helps break down carbohydrates and fats.
Keratin is a protein found naturally in hair and nails. The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose — which are binders and fillers that hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Biotin is likely effective for treating biotin deficiency, which is rare but can happen. For other uses listed on the label — multiple sclerosis, seborrheic dermatitis (a scaly skin condition), and hair loss — the evidence doesn't support that biotin helps, or we don't have enough reliable research to say either way.
We have no effectiveness data on file for keratin.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Biotin is generally well tolerated, even at fairly high doses, because your body removes excess through urine. High-dose biotin rarely causes mild diarrhea — it was reported in a couple of people taking much larger amounts than this product.
There's one case report of a woman who developed a serious inflammatory condition after taking high-dose biotin with other supplements, but no similar cases have been reported since, and it's unclear biotin was the cause. Because this is a high-dose product, talk with your doctor before you start, particularly if you have any ongoing health conditions.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That doesn't guarantee none exist — if you take any prescription medications, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before you add this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This biotin supplement is most useful if you actually have a biotin deficiency — your doctor can check for that. If you're taking it hoping it'll help with hair loss, skin, or nails, the research doesn't back that up.
It's generally well tolerated, but because it's a high dose, check in with your doctor or pharmacist first, especially if you have any chronic conditions or take other supplements.
