B-Complex by Any Other Name,
But Who Knew About B7?

Vitamin B complex is a blend of nutrients required to maintain specific body functions.

You’ve likely heard of them before.

Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Biotin, Folic Acid, Cobalamin—each possesses a specific benefit your body can’t go without.

  • B1 (Thiamine) helps your body during cell production.
  • B2 (Riboflavin) fights free radicals and aids in blood cell production.
  • B3 (Niacin) supports nervous system regulation and digestive support, helping convert the food you eat into energy.
  • B5 (Pantothenic Acid) breaks up fats and carbohydrates so your body can use them as energy.
  • B6 (Pyridoxine) aids in fighting infection, and the food-to-energy conversion process.
  • B9 (Folic Acid) is a DNA-supporting nutrient.
  • B12 (Cobalamin) aids in red blood cell formation and nervous system regulation.

To many people, it’s just a jumble of must-have nutrients.

Your doctor may tell you to take vitamin B complex if you're at risk for deficiency, if you’re showing symptoms of not getting enough dietary sources of these essential nutrients, or if you’re getting older and natural body processes start slowing down.

Even past 60 my mother and grandmother
both had thick, flowing hair.

And Then There’s B7 (Biotin)

We left vitamin B7 off the list above (go back and look) because it’s one of the most important nutrients for maintaining the hormones associated with:

  • Healthy, Strong, and Full Hair
  • Skin Health and Moisture
  • Nail Strength
  • And Much More.

German anti-aging doctors call biotin (B7) “Vitamin H” for "haar and haut" German for hair and skin.

When it comes to getting enough biotin (B7), water solubility is always fighting against you.

Because biotin travels in your bloodstream (doctors call it “water soluble”), your body doesn't store it for later use.

This means you have to keep your biotin intake consistent every day—especially if you’re supplementing with biotin for healthier hair, skin, or nails.

How She Found Out.

Total Activation Consultant Chrissie Topoleski first realized she wasn't getting enough biotin when her hair began thinning just a few years ago.

“Strong, healthy hair runs in my family,” she said. “Even past 60 my mother and grandmother both had thick, flowing hair.”

Her surprise came just over age 30 when her hair started to change—along with her skin.

“I could tell something was wrong, Aging like I was experiencing just doesn’t happen overnight.”

Because she relies on her image for her modeling career, Chrissie turned to an anti-aging expert for help—a nutrition consultant specializing in natural age treatment.

“That’s when I found what my multi-vitamin was missing,” Chrissie said.

All Supplements Are NOT Created Equal.

As it turns out, Chrissie’s diet was lacking the biotin she needed to maintain healthy hair and skin.

“I looked at the back of the label on my multi-vitamin, vitamin B7 – or biotin – was nowhere to be found.”

This story highlights one of the reasons we made our Total Activation Ageless Activators line.

Now, working with Total Activation, Chrissie Topoleski is helping our researchers and product creation team better understand the link between early aging, youth preservation, and nutrition.

Our goal is to make supplements and topical treatments that work with your body—and if Chrissie’s lesson is any example, you need to understand that not all supplements are created equal.

Make Sure You’re Getting Enough Biotin.

If you’re experiencing signs of aging, like Chrissie was, it may be time to add Biotin to your diet as a supplement.

Because it's water soluble, your body needs a steady supply to maintain the levels required to support healthy hair, skin, and nails.

At the same time, water solubility works in your favor because you can’t “overdose” on biotin.

If you end up getting more than your body needs, it will just leave your bloodstream through urine (this differs from fat soluble vitamins that your body stores for later use).

To help support healthier skin and an ageless appearance, Total Activation created Hair, Skin, and Nails—a supplement with biotin, OptiMSM®, and 20+ additional skin activating ingredients.
