生物素10毫克

生物素的英文「Biotin」來自希臘語「biotis」，意為生命或營養。生物素也被稱為維他命H或維他命B-7，是維他命B群成員之一。維他命B群是重要的輔助因子，能支援脂肪（肌膚功能的關鍵）、碳水化合物與蛋白質的正常代謝，最後為身體提供能量。生物素，可作為催化脂肪酸合成和代謝中關鍵反應的酵素輔助因子。（11）脂肪酸對表皮和皮脂腺的正常運作至關重要，有助支援肌膚屏障以及向角質形成細胞傳遞訊息，以調節表皮平衡。（12）由於生物素有助角質蛋白的生成，這或有助維持頭髮、肌膚和指甲的健康。（13）

1. 為甚麼我應該使用可促進角質蛋白生成的生物素營養補充品，而不是直接使用角質蛋白營養補充品？
   生物素營養補充品既可提供維他命B，亦可支援角質蛋白的生成。（2）直接補充角質蛋白能支援身體合成角質蛋白，但不能補充維他命B。
   
   
2. 兒童使用本產品是否安全？
   是的。4歲以上兒童或可使用本產品。
   
   
3. 使用本產品有哪些注意事項？
   如果你對以上所列的任何成分過敏，請勿使用本產品。維他命B不耐症人士或會出現紅疹。
   
   
4. 哪些因素會影響人體吸收維他命B？
   懷孕或會導致生物素水平下降、服用抗生素或抗癲癇藥物、慢性腸道問題，或因長期嚴重節食而缺乏均衡飲食，均會影響人體吸收維他命B。
   
   
5. 哪些食物可作為生物素的天然來源？
   含生物素的食物包括雞蛋、內臟（如肝臟和腎臟）、海鮮、青豆、豆類、扁豆、堅果、蘑菇、甜薯、酵母、香蕉、西蘭花、紅蘿蔔、椰菜花、乳製品、牛油果和全穀物。
   
   
6. 哪些人可從Shopping Annuity生物素軟糖中獲益？
   那些尋求生物素好處但不喜歡吞嚥膠囊或丸劑的人士可從中獲益。
   
   
7. 如何知道我是否攝取過多生物素？
   大多數情況下，身體會將多餘的生物素經排泄物排出體外。副作用或包括胃部不適、皮疹、消化不良和胰島素分泌困難。
   
   
8. 為甚麼孕婦需要增加攝取生物素？
   生物素對準媽媽和胎兒均有好處。由於懷孕後期或會出現食慾變化或引起其他併發症，除保持均衡飲食，使用含生物素的孕婦營養補充品亦非常重要。
   
   
9. Shopping Annuity生物素軟糖是否安全？
   Shopping Annuity生物素軟糖安全及不含有害物質。顧客可信賴本產品的質量和安全。
