2) How can I cover my daily biotin requirement through food?
The daily biotin requirement can be well met by eating biotin-rich foods. Biotin-rich foods are found primarily in plant products, as well as in animal products. These include beef and veal liver, eggs, carrots, oatmeal and sardines. The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily intake of approx. 30-60 µg of biotin for adults. The daily intake of biotin for an adult corresponds to about 100 g of peanuts. For children, the value is between 15-30 µg. In certain life situations, such as pregnancy, more biotin is needed.

4. biotin in the form of food supplements
If you want to increase a too low biotin level with a dietary supplement, you should definitely pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Biotin capsules are particularly suitable for increasing the biotin level. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. The preparation should also not contain any chemical additives such as microcrystalline cellulose. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product has also been produced safely and is of high quality.
