Buyer-side answers from our nutrition team

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the questions buyers and formulators ask most when specifying natural Biotin - bioavailability, declaration, inclusion rate, and certifications.

How does sunflower-derived Biotin compare on bioavailability to synthetic d-biotin?

Biotin was one of eight micronutrients measured in BIOVIT's 30-day human intervention trial at Swansea University (61 volunteers, UKRI-funded, led by Prof Richard Bracken). Blood B7 concentrations rose significantly across the 28-day study (1.432 → 1.938 nmol/L; p<0.05), with no significant difference between the natural and synthetic groups - equivalent bioavailability confirmed.

What does the ingredient declaration look like on pack?

"Organic sunflower seed extract, organic coriander leaf extract." Both elements are immediately recognisable to consumers - a marked contrast to "d-biotin" - and align with the clean-label positioning beauty-from-within, gummy, and functional beverage brands build around.

What's the typical inclusion rate and cost impact?

At 2,000 mg per 100g, the inclusion rate for a "Source of" Biotin claim is just 0.0004 g per portion - one of the smallest in the BIOVIT portfolio. For a precise cost impact in your formulation, get in touch with the team.

Is the Biotin content consistent batch to batch?

Every batch is tested by HPLC against the BI086 specification before release. A documented certificate of analysis accompanies every commercial shipment.

What are sample and commercial lead times?

Samples and commercial orders are dispatched within around a week of order confirmation, with full technical documentation included. The MOQ is 1 kg on standard powder format. Bespoke formats and pack sizes available on request.

Can BIOVIT support reformulation from synthetic Biotin?

Yes. Every wholesale order comes with full reformulation support from BIOVIT's Head of Nutrition, Eiméar Sutton RNutr MSc. That includes equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, and on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation.

What EFSA-approved health claims apply to Biotin?

Seven authorised claims, all valid in both UK and EU: normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal macronutrient metabolism, normal psychological function, and the maintenance of normal hair, skin, and mucous membranes.Calcium has 10 UK-valid EFSA-approved health claims (8 adult claims and 2 children's claims), each requiring at least 15% of the Reference Intake (RI) per portion.

The following is a non-exhaustive list:
Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones
Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth
Calcium contributes to normal muscle function
Calcium contributes to normal blood clotting
Calcium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
Calcium contributes to normal neurotransmission
Calcium contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes
Calcium has a role in the process of cell division and specialisation
Calcium is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children
Calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children

Reformulation support is included

Every BIOVIT wholesale order comes with full technical reformulation support at no extra cost, giving your NPD and technical teams direct access to a qualified nutritionist from brief to production.

Eiméar Sutton (RNutr MSc), our Head of Nutrition, leads the technical work on every account: equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, and the small details that decide whether a synthetic-to-natural switch lands cleanly on the production line.

The result: shorter development cycles, fewer reformulation rounds, and a finished product your commercial team can stand behind.
