Biotin Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?

Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Biotin by Earthborn Elements
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 process food into energy and to maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, an inactive ingredient that holds the biotin inside.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Biotin is likely effective for treating biotin deficiency—a real shortage of this vitamin in your body. For other uses like hair loss (alopecia areata), the evidence isn't strong enough to rate.
For MS and seborrheic dermatitis, the evidence actually points away from benefit (possibly ineffective).
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Biotin is generally well tolerated, even at fairly high doses, because your body flushes out what it doesn't use in your urine. High-dose biotin has rarely caused mild diarrhea in some people.
One case report described a serious reaction (eosinophilic pleuropericarditis), but it's unclear whether biotin was responsible, and no similar cases have been reported since. Normal dietary amounts and standard supplement doses are considered likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though if you're taking a high-dose product, check with your doctor first.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for biotin.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a straightforward biotin supplement that works well if you actually have a biotin deficiency. If you're taking it for hair, skin, or nails without a confirmed shortage, the evidence won't back it up.
It's generally well tolerated, but run high-dose biotin by your doctor or pharmacist first.
