    High potency biotin supplement helps improve skin, hair, and nail health, while targeting a number of complications that are linked to a biotin deficiency such as hair loss, brittle nails, and skin problems (e.g., irritation, inflammation, rashes, infections) [1-4]. Coconut oil has been shown to promote hair, skin, and nail health due to its moisturizing properties [5-8].
    Strong, healthy hair, skin, and nails [1-4]
    Biotin boosts metabolism and functions as a co-enzyme that enhances the breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, fats (fatty acids) and other nutrients that nourish the hair, skin, and nails [1-7]. Fatty acids in particular, strengthen the protective outer layer of the body's cells, including those that make up the skin and hair follicles [7]. Therefore, biotin promotes healthy hair, skin, and nail growth by ensuring that vital nutrients are released from food and properly transported throughout the body (e.g. scalp and hair follicles). Research shows that maintaining optimal levels of biotin in the diet stops soft, brittle nails from splitting by promoting thicker and harder fingernails [4, 8, 9]. Coconut oil supports moisture retention of hair follicles, dry, irritated skin (e.g., scalp), as well as the nails and it helps targets skin inflammation [10-13].
