D-Biotin, CAS# 58-85-5, is a organic compound manufactured through chemical synthesis, available as White crystal powder. D-Biotin is widely used as nutrition supplements. It is widely accepted as safe food additive in many countries.
No significant side effects reported.
As D-Biotin is widely known as safe, there is no limit on dosage of intake. However, we still recommend consumers to consult professionals before using large quantity of D-Biotin for long period.
Special groups refer to newborns, children, pregnant and any other applicable vulnerable groups.
There is no evidence that D-Biotin could have any negative effects on these vulnerable groups. It should be safe to use D-Biotin in food for newborns and pregnant. However, we still recommend consumers to consult professionals before using large quantity of D-Biotin for long period in food for newborns or pregnant.
Generally recognized as safe(GRAS) is a FDA designation that a specific substance or ingredient is generally considered safe by experts, and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) food additive tolerance requirements. D-Biotin is considered safe by FDA according to existing data and granted GRAS status.
No breaking news or public health crises reported about D-Biotin reported up to now.
