## Safety & Precautions

Well tolerated in clinical and wellness doses

Excess biotin may interfere with some lab tests (e.g., thyroid, troponin, hormone assays) — always note recent biotin use if bloods are ordered

Avoid very high chronic IV dosing unless clinically indicated

No major toxicity reported, but unnecessary mega-dosing should be avoided

> **Over 10mg cannot be clinically justified**
