Four Gelagen Ingredients, At Length

Biotin In Gelagen — 5000 mcg, 16,667% DV

Biotin (vitamin B7) is a cofactor for the carboxylase enzymes involved in building keratin, the structural protein in hair and nails. The daily value is 30 mcg; Gelagen carries 5000 mcg per two-gummy serving, which is an ordinary amount for a hair-and-nail formula rather than a misprint. Very high-dose biotin can interfere with certain lab tests (notably some thyroid panels) — mention any biotin supplement to your doctor before bloodwork.

Vitamin B12 In Gelagen — 6 mcg, 250% DV

Supplied as methylcobalamin, B12 supports the cell division that both hair growth and skin renewal depend on. It works in the same metabolic pathway as folate, which is why the two are usually paired in a formula like this one.

Folate In Gelagen — 442 mcg DFE, 111% DV

Two hundred sixty micrograms of folic acid convert to the 442 mcg DFE figure printed on the label. Folate and B12 work together in the cell-turnover pathway that skin's roughly monthly renewal cycle runs on.

Vitamin B6 In Gelagen — 2 mg, 118% DV

Supplied as pyridoxine hydrochloride, B6 is involved in amino acid metabolism — relevant to hair, which is largely protein (keratin).
