Product Information

Unived’s Basic Biotin is formulated with bioactive compounds from vegan sources which work synergistically to promote, proliferate, stimulate, hydrate, and maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails.

It features a blend of five ingredients that work by delivering nutrients that have key roles in hair, skin, and nail health. Basics biotin contains vitamin C as ascorbic acid, zinc as zinc citrate along with natural vitamins – vitamin E as alpha-tocopherol from Soya Oilseeds, vitamin A as beta carotene from Blakeslea trispora, and vitamin B7 as biotin (100% RDA) from natural Sesbania grandiflora.

All the ingredients in the Basics Biotin have been carefully chosen to work on pathways that stimulate the development of healthy cells and tissues of hair, skin, and nails.

Key Benefits

  • Helps in improving the quality of hair and promotes regrowth by stimulating keratin synthesis.
  • Reduces wrinkle formation and slows down aging by stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis.
  • Prevents UV-related skin damage like – dark spots and skin discoloration.
  • Helps reduce brittle nails, and improves their strength.
  • Helps to prevent photo-induced skin problems and oxidative skin damage.

Ingredient Information

  • Ascorbic Acid – 80mg
  • Zinc Citrate – 57mg
  • Naturall-e™ as d-Alpha-Tocopherol from Soya Oilseeds - 30.5mg
  • Naturall Beta-Carotene from Blakeslea trispora – 30mg
  • Biotin from Sesbania grandiflora leaves – 2.5mg
Healthy hair is the attribute of healthy people looking after themselves and taking good care of themselves. But hair fall is an inevitable process as it is a part of the body’s natural process as the hair is under constant hair growth and shedding cycle. But various physiological and psychological conditions may offset the normal hair cycle and may result in weak, and brittle hair leading to excess hair fall than normal [1].

In physiological conditions on the head, there is 80% of the hair in the course of growing (anagen), 1% in the period of involution of the hair follicle (catagen), and the rest of the percentage is hair in the rest period (telogen). Depending on various factors, the number and density of women’s hair might change. Daily loss of hair should not exceed 70-100 hair, but it becomes a problem when the loss is higher than 100 daily during a period longer than a few weeks [1].

Various reasons contribute to hair fall like stress, underlying illness, poor nutrition, etc. A study indicates that Biotin deficiency was found in 38% of women complaining of hair loss. About 11% of patients with biotin deficiency had a positive personal history of risk factors for biotin deficiency [13].

Hair loss is a common problem that may be improved with vitamin and mineral supplementation. Vitamins and minerals are important for normal cell growth and function and may contribute to hair loss when they are deficient. While supplementation is relatively affordable and easily accessible, it is important to know which vitamins and minerals are helpful in treating hair loss [1]. Unived BASICS Biotin provides you with the right blend of required vitamins and minerals that may promote healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Unived’s Basics Biotin is made with Nutraceuticals that are involved in maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails. It has 100% RDA Biotin: 25mcg from Sesbania grandiflora, Vitamin C as ascorbic acid: 80mg, Zinc citrate: 57mg, Vitamin E (Naturall-e™) as d-alpha-tocopherol from soya oilseeds: 30.5mg, and vitamin A as beta carotene from Blakeslea trispora: 30mg.

Mode of Action:

Biotin

  • Plays an active role in keratin synthesis, hence it contributes to healthy nails and hair growth.
  • Nails: Studies have shown that when a sample group with brittle nails is supplemented with biotin there is a considerable increase in the thickness of the nails.
  • Hair growth: Due to the presence of sulfur it lowers sebum secretion and activates hair growth.

Vitamin C

  • Collagen synthesis: It is involved in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine resulting in the conversion of procollagen to collagen.
  • Exhibits anti-wrinkle activity: It promotes the production of collagen and elastin, thus improving the elasticity of the skin.
  • Promotes antioxidant production and inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis triggered by UV light and other environmental factors.
  • Reduces hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and skin discoloration. It inhibits melanogenesis. Melanin is a natural skin pigment produced for photoprotection, however excess pigmentation of melanin results in hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Vitamin C regulates melanin synthesis by inhibiting excess production and works in synergy with vitamin E.

Zinc citrate

  • Photoprotection: The antioxidant activity of zinc protects the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals generated as a result of UV radiation or other environmental factors.
  • Differentiation of keratinocytes: The ZIP2 protein is a zinc transporter that is involved in the differentiation of keratinocytes [6].
  • Skin health: Zinc ensures the proper functioning of the mucous membrane of the skin. It plays a role in the formation of new cells modulating apoptosis and aging.

Vitamin E

  • Scavenges free radicals: Its antioxidant activity helps scavenge free radicals and prevents DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) which retards and prevents the development of skin cancer. It slows aging by preventing lipid peroxidation.
  • Reduces hyperpigmentation: Studies have shown alpha-tocopherol supplementation to suppress melanogenesis and reduce hyperpigmentation mainly caused by increased sun exposure.
  • It has been shown to have photoprotective, anti-aging, and hydrating properties. It reduces redness and inflammation occurring due to UV exposure. It also stimulates elastin and collagen production.

Vitamin A

Beta carotene is a precursor to vitamin A and has a role in improving skin health.

  • Cell proliferation: It has roles in the proliferation of keratinocytes and fibroblasts which stimulates collagen synthesis.
  • Photoprotection: Carotenoids like beta carotene and lycopene exhibit photoprotective properties by preventing sunburn-associated erythema followed by UV exposure.
  • Improves skin surface. Studies have shown to improve skin texture by reducing scaling and roughness. It also affects the thickness and density of the skin.
