It can be dissolved in water from pH 3.5 and above. From research, it was found that at pH 4-5, the scalp can absorb Biotin much better, resulting in full efficiency and no re-crystallization problem in the formula.

ActiveRelease™ Biotin is biotin in encapsulated form that can be directly dissolved in water without the pH limitation that affects the solubility of normal biotin.

Normal biotin is water soluble at higher pH (above pH 6.5), but ActiveRelease™ Biotin is water soluble from pH 3.5 and above. Research has shown that at pH 4-5, the scalp can absorb Biotin much better, resulting in full efficacy and no re-crystallization problems in the formula.
