Please clarify difference between biotin and biotin forte in regards to supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitamin vs. brand: Biotin is one of the B vitamins; it occurs in many foods and is in many different supplements. Biotin Forte is one particular supplement product that has a high dose of biotin, 5 mg, but that dose is safe and some benefits of biotin may require high doses. See https://draxe.com/biotin-benefits/ and http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins/biotin for details.
