Why was biotin taken out of Nutrafol Women?
Biotin is present in skin, hair, and nails, but supplementing biotin alone does not address all known triggers impacting hair health. For this formula specifically, we chose a targeted combination of standardized, bioavailable ingredients—like Moldavian Dragonshead, which helps support the body's natural collagen production—for our best approach to target root causes of hair thinning and support hair health.
