What Are Biotin Injections? Biotin is a type of B complex vitamin that occurs naturally in a variety of foods. Biotin injections are used for the improvement of fine, fragile, or thinning hair. Although biotin occurs naturally in various foods, people suffering from a deficiency usually have a genetic issue that prevents them from fully absorbing this nutrient.

The vitamin biotin improves the basic protein that makes up the hair, skin and nails.

This basic protein is called keratin. biotin deficiency can cause brittle hair and hair loss.

Biotin can be taken in a tablet form or given intramuscularly as an injection.  Many supplements and vitamins are not completely absorbed by our bodies through ingestion and thus instramuscular biotin injection has been helpful in increasing biotin levels faster in patients.

Vitamin D ingested orally can take weeks, even months, to have an impact on your health – and much of the dose is lost when it is converted in the gut. However, intramuscular vitamin D injections have a much more immediate impact – some patients report feeling the effects right away. And because the vitamins are administered directly into the muscle, bypassing the gut, a much higher percentage of the vitamins can be utilised by the body.
