Biotin 5,000mcg
Biotin is a B vitamin your body uses to process fats, carbs and protein, and it plays a role in keratin, the protein that makes up hair and nails. 5,000mcg is a high dose, well above the daily value. Biotin at this level can throw off some lab tests, including thyroid and heart panels, so tell your doctor you take it before any blood work.†
Vitamins A, C and E, Zinc and Selenium
Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which matters for skin. Vitamins A and E and the mineral selenium support antioxidant defenses. Zinc supports normal skin, hair and nail health. Together they fill common gaps for people who train hard and eat on the run.†
MSM, Collagen Peptides and Horsetail Extract
MSM is a sulfur source, and sulfur is part of keratin. Collagen peptides supply the amino acids found in skin's structural protein. Horsetail is a plant source of silica. Alani Nu lists these in a blend without individual doses, so we cannot tell you how much of each you get per serving.†
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long until I notice a difference?
Hair and nails grow slowly, so give any beauty vitamin at least 8 to 12 weeks of daily use. Take it every day with a meal for consistency. Results vary from person to person. Diet, sleep and hydration matter just as much.† -
Will 5,000mcg of biotin affect my blood work?
It can. High-dose biotin is known to interfere with some lab tests, including thyroid and troponin tests. Tell your doctor you take it before any blood draw. Many doctors suggest stopping biotin a few days before testing. Follow their advice.† -
Can I take it with a multivitamin?
Check your multi first. This formula already has 5,000 IU of vitamin A, plus zinc, selenium and several B vitamins. Doubling up can push some nutrients past where you need them. If your multi is high in vitamin A or zinc, talk to a physician or ask our staff to compare labels.† -
Is it vegan?
We do not list it as vegan. It comes in veggie capsules, but the formula includes collagen peptides, which come from animal sources. Alani Nu does not state the collagen source on the listings we checked. Read the label if that matters to you.†
How to Take Alani Nu Hair, Skin & Nails
Take 2 capsules daily with a meal. Do not exceed the suggested serving. Tell your doctor you take high-dose biotin before any lab work. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing without your doctor's approval, since the formula contains 5,000 IU of vitamin A. Not for anyone under 18; see a physician first if you have a medical condition or take prescription medication.
