Swanson Biotin-Review
Product Claims of Swanson Premium Biotin
Today we are reviewing Swanson Premium Biotin. The manufacturer of this supplement claims that this supplement will promote healthy skin, strong nails, and thick hair. Other benefits of biotin are its ability to enhance the uptake of energy to your cells, improving metabolism, also to enhance the digestive system and nervous system. This supplement contains 5000mcg of biotin per serving which is low compared with competitors who offer as much as 10,000mcg of biotin per dose.
Ingredients
The primary ingredient in this supplement is 5000 mcg of biotin. This is a low amount of biotin when compared to its competitors who offer twice that amount. With such a low daily dose of biotin, you may not see the results that you were hoping for. The capsules contain animal gelatin and are therefore not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
Dosage Instructions
Take one capsule daily with a full glass of water. The dosage instructions do not specify at what time of day it is preferable to take this supplement. Each capsule only contains 5000mcg of biotin. We are concerned that this is too low an amount to provide the optimum benefits of a biotin supplement.
Cost and Guarantee
You can purchase this supplement direct from the manufacturer online where a 30 count bottle of capsules costs just $2.09 for a one month's supply. This price is so low that we wonder about their ingredients. Additionally, the company website offers a 10% discount for first time customers, and free shipping if you spend over $50 provided you sign up for recurring orders. Although the website says that if you are dissatisfied for any reason, they will give a full refund and pay return shipping, we were not able to find specific information about either a guarantee nor a return policy. A vague promise is not worth much to the consumer.
Summary Of Our Swanson Premium Biotin Review
There are a several things that we liked about Swanson Premium Biotin. This is a very inexpensive supplement to purchase at only $2.09 for 30 capsules (30 day supply). In addition, if that wasn't good enough, the company offers a discount of 10% for first time customers. There is also free shipping when spending over $50 when signing up for recurring orders. We do have some concerns, however. Firstly, the manufacturer does not provide a guarantee or a return policy. Free shipping only applies if you spend $50 which seems high considering one bottle only costs $2.09. In terms of biotin dosage, the daily dose for this supplement is only 5000mcg of biotin, half of what other brands are offering, and potentially insufficient biotin to provide for optimum results. The capsules contain animal gelatin and are therefore not suitable for vegetarians nor vegans. Other than the 10% off for new customers, there are no other incentives. In summary, we suggest that when looking for a biotin supplement to buy, you seek out one that delivers an adequately high amount of biotin, preferably 10,000mcg, and one where there is a manufacturer's guarantee and clear return policy to protect your consumer rights.
