Biotin Complex (Vitamin B7)
An essential co-factor for keratin biosynthesis. This protein constitutes 95% of the hair strand.
Biotin (Vitamin B7) is an indispensable co-enzyme in the metabolic pathways that produce keratin, the primary structural protein of human hair. While Biotin is an essential nutrient for hair strength, topical application via the Revox Laboratories Biotin Complex delivers concentrated biotin directly to the follicular environment, bypassing digestive absorption limitations.
Clinical Applications
- Activates carboxylase enzymes essential for keratin protein synthesis
- Strengthens the disulfide bonds that give hair its tensile strength and elasticity
- Supports fatty acid metabolism in the scalp for optimal sebum production
- Reduces brittleness and breakage in chemically or thermally damaged hair
Mechanism of Action
Biotin serves as a prosthetic group for carboxylase enzymes that catalyze the incorporation of CO₂ into amino acid chains. In hair biology, this translates to more robust keratin fibre production. The Revox Laboratories Biotin Complex pairs this with complementary B-vitamins (Panthenol B5, Niacin B3) to create a synergistic environment for follicular health.
