Best Way To Get Collagen And Biotin For Skin, Hair, And Nails Is Through A Well-Rounded Diet, Researchers Say

CNBC (7/22, Onque) reported, "Skin, hair and nail supplements often contain much more biotin than the human body needs," according to findings published in a research letter in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. This could become problematic, because "high doses of biotin 'can alter test results that healthcare providers may order, like thyroid testing, cardiac testing [and] potentially even vitamin D testing.'" As for collagen "supplements, which are often touted as a skin health aid," they "can often be taken without undue concern – but when tested, many popular brands contained toxic heavy metals like lead and mercury...dermatologists note." The best way to get collagen and biotin is through "a well-rounded diet...researchers agree."
