▸ Editor's verdict SKIP-FOR-NOW HIGH
"Biotin deficiency is essentially nonexistent in healthy adults eating any varied diet — gut bacteria synthesize meaningful amounts and the daily requirement is tiny (~30 mcg). The hair/skin/nails marketing is largely unsupported in non-deficient subjects. Major concern: high-dose biotin (5,000-10,000 mcg in 'beauty' products) interferes with streptavidin-biotin lab assays — falsely high T4/T3 and falsely low TSH being the most clinically dangerous; can also distort troponin readings during MI workup. Skip unless documented deficiency."
