HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Biotin 5000 mcg by SR SportsResearch
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 one active ingredient: biotin, a B vitamin that your body needs to convert food into energy and maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails. The softgel capsule also includes organic virgin coconut oil, non-GMO rice bran wax, and a veggie-based capsule shell as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Biotin is likely effective for treating biotin deficiency—the main reason to take a supplement if your doctor has identified a shortage. For other uses like alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), the evidence isn't strong enough to rate it.
For multiple sclerosis and seborrheic dermatitis (a scaly skin condition), current evidence suggests it probably doesn't help.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Biotin is generally well tolerated, even at fairly high doses, because your body clears any excess through urine. High-dose biotin has rarely caused mild diarrhea.
Because this is a high-dose supplement (5,000 mcg), talk with your doctor before starting it—amounts from food and standard prenatal vitamins are fine, but check on higher-dose products first.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for biotin. That said, run your complete medication list through the checker on this page or discuss it with your pharmacist to be sure.
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 supplement is for you if your doctor has confirmed you're low in biotin. For other reasons—hair loss, skin conditions, or multiple sclerosis—the evidence doesn't support it.
Check with your doctor before taking it, especially since it's a high-dose formulation, and mention it to your pharmacist if you're on other medications.
