Biotin

Description

A biotin vitamin push is a type of intravenous (IV) therapy that delivers a high dose of biotin, a B vitamin, directly into the bloodstream. Biotin is important for many bodily functions, including:

• Cell growth
• Fatty acid production
• Glucose metabolism

Biotin IV pushes are sometimes used to treat conditions such as:

• Hair loss
• Brittle nails
• Skin rashes

They are also sometimes used to improve the health of hair, skin, and nails in people who are not deficient in biotin.

Here's what a biotin IV push typically involves:

• A healthcare professional will insert an IV needle into a vein in your arm.
• A solution containing biotin and other nutrients will be slowly injected into your bloodstream over a period of 20-30 minutes.

Biotin IV pushes are generally safe, but there is a risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and rash.

Is a biotin IV push right for you?

Biotin IV pushes are not a good option for everyone. They are most beneficial for people who have a diagnosed biotin deficiency. If you are considering a biotin IV push, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits.
