Carbamide Forte Biotin 10,000mcg, 120 Tablets

Product Overview

Carbamide Forte Biotin gives 10,000mcg (10mg) of biotin in each film-coated tablet, in a bottle of 120 tablets. At one tablet a day that is four months’ supply.

It is an Indian product: the label names the manufacturer as Shree Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and the marketer as Nirvas Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai. The tablet is coloured with red oxide of iron.

What Biotin Does

Biotin (vitamin B7) is a water-soluble B vitamin. It works as a coenzyme in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein, and it is involved in making keratin, the protein of hair and nails.

Adults need only about 30mcg a day, and most people get that from eggs, nuts, seeds and other foods. One tablet of this provides about 330 times that.

Key Benefits — and What Is Known

• Biotin deficiency does cause hair loss, brittle nails and skin rashes, as the listing says. True deficiency is rare, though.
• Brittle nails — a few small, older studies found biotin made nails firmer. This is the best-supported use.
• Hair growth — in people who are not deficient there is little evidence that extra biotin grows hair. The listing’s claim that it enlarges hair follicles is not established.

Hair loss has many common causes — iron deficiency, thyroid problems, hormonal changes, stress and pattern hair loss. A doctor and a simple blood test will tell you more than a biotin tablet.

Important — Biotin and Blood Tests

High-dose biotin interferes with many laboratory tests, including thyroid tests, hormone tests and the troponin test used to diagnose a heart attack. It can make results look falsely high or falsely low.

• Tell your doctor and the laboratory that you take biotin before any blood test.
• Ask how long to stop it beforehand — often at least two to three days at a dose this high.
• If you are in hospital with chest pain, make sure staff know.

Key Features

• 10,000mcg (10mg) biotin USP per film-coated tablet
• One tablet a day; 120 tablets

Ingredients / Specifications

Each film-coated tablet contains (label in the product photos): biotin USP 10mg; excipients q.s. Colour: red oxide of iron. The label notes that appropriate overages of the vitamin are added to compensate for loss on storage.

The label does not list the excipients by name. The title says “Veg Tablets”; we cannot see a vegetarian mark on the label photos, so message us if you need it confirmed.

How to Use

1. The label directions: one tablet daily with any one meal, or as directed by your physician.
2. Do not take more than one a day, and do not combine it with another biotin or hair-skin-nails product.
3. Hair and nails grow slowly — give it three to six months before judging.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Adults with brittle nails, or those whose doctor has suggested biotin.

• Anyone due a blood test — see the warning above.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — do not take a dose this high without your doctor.
• Not for children. Keep it out of their reach, as the label says.

Why Choose Carbamide Forte Biotin?

A single-ingredient biotin with a clearly printed dose, a named manufacturer and four months in one bottle — for someone who has a reason to take it.

This Is a Supplement, Not a Medicine

A dietary supplement is a food product. It is not a medicine, it has not been through the testing a medicine goes through, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Supplement labels use health language — “supports”, “helps maintain”, “promotes” — precisely because they are not permitted to claim treatment. Read them that way. If a listing anywhere promises that a capsule will fix a medical condition, that promise is not one the product can keep.

What a supplement can honestly do is fill a gap in your diet. That is worth something, and it is a smaller thing than most packaging implies.

Talk to a Doctor First

Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before you start, particularly if you:

• take any prescribed medicine — supplements interfere with medicines more often than people expect
• are being treated for a heart, liver, kidney, thyroid or blood condition
• have diabetes
• are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
• have surgery or a dental procedure coming up

Never stop or reduce a prescribed medicine in order to take a supplement instead. That is the single most dangerous thing anyone does with a product like this, and it is what the marketing language quietly invites.

About the Imported Pack

This is an imported product. The label, the dose instructions and the ingredient panel are the ones printed for the market it was made for, and the wording may differ from a locally packaged version.

Follow the dose printed on the pack itself — it is the authority on its own contents — and check the expiry date when it arrives. If anything on the label is unclear, message us before you take it and we will read it to you.

Storage

• Keep the container tightly closed, somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
• Do not store it in a bathroom. Heat and humidity break supplements down faster than anything else, and a Dhaka bathroom is the worst place in the house for them.
• Leave the desiccant sachet in the bottle. It is there to keep moisture out, not by mistake.
• Softgels and fish oils are best kept in a fridge in hot weather — they go rancid otherwise.
• Keep it out of reach of children.
• Do not use it after the expiry date, and throw it away if the capsules smell strongly off, have stuck together or changed colour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will biotin stop my hair fall?

Only if the hair fall comes from a biotin shortage, which is uncommon. Iron deficiency and thyroid problems are far more common causes and are easy to test for.

Is 10,000mcg safe?

No upper limit has been set for biotin, and excess leaves in urine. The main practical risk is misleading blood test results.

Do I need to stop it before a blood test?

Usually yes. Ask your doctor or the lab how long — often at least two to three days.

Can I take it with my other supplements?

Check the labels for anything that appears in both — doubling a dose by accident is easy. If you are on prescribed medicine as well, ask a pharmacist. They do this check quickly and for free.

How do I check the pack is in date?

The expiry date is printed on the bottle or the base of the box. Check it as soon as your order arrives. If it is unreadable or close to expiry, message us and we will replace it.
