{"product_id":"biotin-bloom","title":"Biotin Bloom","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat Biotin Bloom Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiotin Bloom is a daily biotin food supplement, in the pink pack that places it on the beauty shelf of the BLOOMLY range. It is sold in three pack sizes, and the product inside each is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Biotin Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiotin is a vitamin. Specifically it is \u003cstrong\u003evitamin B7\u003c\/strong\u003e, part of the B group, and you will occasionally still see it written as \u003cstrong\u003evitamin H\u003c\/strong\u003e — an older name that survives on some labels and in a lot of older writing. B7, H and biotin are three names for the same vitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the rest of the B group it is \u003cstrong\u003ewater-soluble\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is a meaningful distinction rather than a technicality. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in fat the way vitamins A, D, E and K are, which is why they are generally taken as a regular daily habit rather than occasionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiotin occurs in a range of everyday foods: eggs — particularly the yolk — nuts, seeds, oily fish, liver, sweet potatoes and some pulses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy The Numbers On Biotin Packs Look So Large\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiotin is measured in \u003cstrong\u003emicrograms\u003c\/strong\u003e, written as µg or mcg. A microgram is one thousandth of a milligram, so figures that look enormous on a biotin pack are small in absolute terms — 10,000 µg is 10 mg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is worth knowing for two reasons. It explains why biotin packs advertise numbers that look dramatic next to a mineral pack, and it means a percentage of the Nutrient Reference Value is a far more informative comparison than the raw microgram figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne Thing Worth Raising With Your Doctor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a practical point about biotin that has nothing to do with how it is marketed and rarely gets mentioned on the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiotin taken as a supplement is known to interfere with certain laboratory blood tests, producing results that do not reflect what is actually happening. If you are having blood tests, it is worth telling the person taking the sample that you take a biotin supplement, and worth asking your doctor whether to pause it beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe mention it because it is genuinely useful and because nobody selling biotin seems to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Fits Into Your Routine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater-soluble vitamins suit a consistent daily slot. Most people attach biotin to a meal or to a morning routine and leave it there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sits on the beauty shelf of the range alongside Collagen Bloom, and the two appear together in one of our multi-product edits if you would rather try them as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Get In Each Pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single pack, a 2 pack and a 4 pack. Identical product in each; only the quantity changes. Prices are shown on this page before you add anything to your basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdults who want a straightforward daily biotin supplement and would rather understand what the vitamin is than be told what it will change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is biotin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA water-soluble B vitamin, also known as vitamin B7 and, in older labelling, vitamin H.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs biotin the same as vitamin B7 and vitamin H?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Three names, one vitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods contain biotin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEggs, especially the yolk, along with nuts, seeds, oily fish, liver, sweet potatoes and some pulses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are biotin amounts written in micrograms?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the quantities involved are very small. A microgram is one thousandth of a milligram, so 10,000 µg is 10 mg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between µg and mcg?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone. They are two ways of writing micrograms. \"µg\" is standard in the United Kingdom and Europe; \"mcg\" is more common in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes biotin affect blood tests?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBiotin supplements are known to interfere with some laboratory blood tests. Tell whoever takes your sample that you take biotin, and ask your doctor whether to pause it beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is biotin water-soluble rather than fat-soluble?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is part of the B group, all of which dissolve in water rather than fat. This is why B vitamins are generally taken as a regular daily habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I take it alongside other BLOOMLY products?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany people do.
