Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that can have a beneficial effect on a number of structures and functions in the body.* In a clinical trial, 45 patients with brittle fingernails received oral supplementation of 2.5 mg biotin for 1.5-7 months. Ninety-one percent showed "definite improvement," exhibiting firmer, harder fingernails after an average of two months of supplementation.*
Biotin in a higher amount, such as is present in Thorne's Biotin-8, supports glucose metabolism by stimulating glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells and by accelerating glucose metabolism in the liver.* Biotin also enhances muscle insulin sensitivity by increasing uptake of glucose by the muscle cells.*

What I love about Suntegrity sunscreen is how smooth and clean it is. It doesn’t feel heavy or greasy and applies very nicely. The only thing I do not like is that the tint my tends to gather in my wrinkles due to my age. Would love if it came tint less.
I have used this product for a number of years and have been very satisfied. I love that it has bioflavinoids, also that the serving size is 500 mg. When I start to feel sick, I up the amount I take, Otherwise I take one daily as part of my supplements.
