What are biotin (vitamin B7) injections, how do we absorb it and what causes us to become deficient?
Vitamin B7, otherwise known as biotin, is a water-soluble vitamin which helps us to break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins from the foods we eat. It is often recommended to strengthen the hair and nails, and is also found in many hair and nail cosmetic products.
The body does not store biotin, but certain bacteria in the intestine can make biotin. It is also deemed to be helpful for normal growth of babies during pregnancy. It is however rare to be deficient in biotin.

How often should I have a biotin injection?
Biotin injections can be safely administered to anyone who feels they need a boost every 4–6 months. There is no risk of toxicity, as the body will only absorb the amount it needs and excretes any excess. The injection is administered into the upper arm.
