Overview

Sports Research Biotin provides 5,000mcg of biotin in a veggie softgel with organic virgin coconut oil for enhanced absorption. The coconut oil carrier is a smart formulation choice — biotin is fat-soluble in its free form, and the coconut oil may improve absorption compared to dry tablets. The 120-count provides 4 months of supplementation.
