SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Scientific studies claim that folic acid, vitamin B12 and iron deficiency are important public health problems in India (2,4). In a community-based study, adolescent rural Indian women with asymptomatic vitamin B-12 deficiency, it was demonstrated improvement in haematological and biochemical-metabolic indices, and in peripheral nerve function, after treatment with oral vitamin B-12 (3).

Biotin supplementation may be crucial in hair growth. Studies show that deficiencies in biotin, Zinc, folic acid and vitamin B12 are associated with male androgenetic alopecia (2) and premature canities (1) in Asians. Scientific opinion published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concludes that a strong correlation exists between the biotin supplementation and healthy hair (3).

Metabolic vitamin B12 deficiency is highly prevalent among Indian population as about 20% of them are vegetarians (1). Vitamin B12 is mostly found in animal products and not in plant or grain based products and hence its deficiency.
