Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

Can taking biotin lead to weight gain? I started using biotin for hair, skin, and nail improvement, but I have come across information suggesting it may cause weight gain. Is this claim accurate?

There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that biotin supplementation causes weight gain.

 

Thanks
