HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vegetarian Formula Biotin 1000 mcg by Sundown Naturalist
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 at 1,000 micrograms per tablet. Biotin is a B vitamin your body uses to support hair, skin, and nail health, and to help process certain nutrients from food.
The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — calcium carbonate, cellulose, and silica — which are binders and fillers that hold the tablet together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Biotin is likely effective for biotin deficiency, the condition it's used for when a person isn't getting enough from their diet. For other uses — hair loss (alopecia areata), multiple sclerosis, or seborrheic dermatitis — the evidence is either insufficient or suggests it probably doesn't help.
If you're taking this for one of those other reasons, talk with your doctor about whether it's the right choice for you.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Biotin is generally well tolerated, even at fairly high doses, because your body clears excess amounts in your urine. High-dose biotin has rarely been linked to mild diarrhea in a small number of people.
One very rare case report described an unusual reaction in an older patient taking biotin along with another supplement and a heart medication, but it's unclear whether biotin was the cause. The safety data shows biotin is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation at normal dietary and supplement amounts, though you should discuss high-dose products with your doctor first.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the biotin in this product. If you take prescription medications, feel free to verify them with the checker on this page or confirm with your doctor or pharmacist — but you're not working against a known interaction list with this ingredient.
