Biotin, or Vitamin B7, is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that functions as a coenzyme in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. It is commonly used in dietary supplements, especially those targeting hair, skin, and nail health.¹ Gummies have become a popular dosage form due to their palatability, ease of consumption, and high consumer acceptance.² Beyond supplements, Biotin is also added to various foods and beverages to support a healthy diet.³

Formulating Biotin gummies presents technological challenges, particularly in ensuring stability and uniform distribution of the vitamin. During production, Biotin is either fully dissolved or uniformly dispersed in the gummy mass before molding, ensuring each unit contains a consistent level of the active ingredient.² The gummy matrix—comprising sugars, gelling agents (like gelatin or pectin), flavourings, and colourants—is compatible with Biotin and does not compromise its functionality.⁵

The Biotin content in the finished gummy product is carefully tested to ensure it matches the label claim. Validated analytical techniques, such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or an equivalent method,
