Biotin in Plain Words: What 6 mg Means on the Label
The Gelagen label shows biotin at 6 mg and 20,000% DV. Here is how to read those numbers.
What biotin is
Biotin is vitamin B7. It helps the body turn food into energy, and it is known for supporting healthy hair, skin and nails.*
Reading 20,000% DV
DV stands for Daily Value, a reference amount used on every label. A very high percent just means the dose is far above that small reference, because biotin is needed in tiny amounts.
Where it occurs in food
Eggs, salmon, nuts, seeds and sweet potatoes all contain biotin, so a varied plate already supplies some.
How it fits Gelagen
The gummy puts 6 mg of biotin beside five other vitamins in each two-gummy serving. It sits next to vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid in the B family.
