Biotin by Herbadiet lists 2 ingredients, 2 with an amount per serving of 1 capsule, such as 10,000 mcg of vitamin B7, powder and 190 mg of calcium carbonate. Its current label entered the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database on May 24, 2023.
What is in Biotin?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 capsule. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin B7, Powderas Biotin | 10,000 mcg | 33,333%* | Higher than 97% of 9,447 products listing biotin (median 200 mcg). |
| Calcium Carbonateas Calcium | 190 mg | 15%* | The label names the compound (Calcium Carbonate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the calcium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.

Is that a lot?
The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:
- Its 10,000 mcg of vitamin B7, powder (filed by NIH under biotin) is higher than 97% of the 9,447 biotin products that print an amount; 62 list more.
The NIH database records one serving a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
The Tolerable Upper Intake Level is the most of a nutrient per day, from food, water and supplements together, that is likely to pose no risk for almost all adults (Institute of Medicine, 2011). It does not apply under medical supervision. This page compares labels; it is not medical advice.
