Brand: Gelagen
Availability: InStock

The full Supplement Facts panel with % Daily Values, the five headline B-vitamins in depth, the eight supporting nutrients, and what's notably not on the label.

Meet the Five Nutrients Doing the Heavy Lifting

Each one is printed on the label. Here's what it does, where you'd find it in food and, just as important, where the evidence stops.

Vitamin B7 · D-Biotin

Biotin: The Nutrient at the Centre of the Keratin Conversation

Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that works as a helper (coenzyme) for five carboxylase enzymes. Your body uses these enzymes to process fats, carbohydrates and amino acids, including the building blocks of keratin, the structural protein in hair and nails. You get it naturally from eggs, salmon, seeds, nuts and sweet potatoes.

Biotin became the beauty aisle's headline ingredient because true deficiency shows up where people notice first: thinning hair, brittle nails and a scaly rash. Gelagen provides 5,000 mcg per two-gummy serving, a common amount in hair-skin-nail gummies and the ingredient the formula is built around.

What's established: biotin is essential, and deficiency causes hair and nail changes. What isn't: strong trials showing extra biotin improves hair or nails in people who already get enough. Heads-up: high-dose biotin can skew some lab tests, so mention it before blood work.

Vitamin B12 ingredient in Gelagen gummies

Cobalamin · Methylcobalamin form

Vitamin B12: The Cell-Renewal Workhorse

Vitamin B12 is needed to form red blood cells, copy DNA and keep nerve cells working normally. It is found almost only in animal foods, so vegans, vegetarians, adults over 50 (who absorb less of it from food) and people on long-term metformin or acid-reducing medicines are more likely to run low.

Each serving supplies 6 mcg (250% DV). The manufacturer says it uses the methylcobalamin form. B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism, and that everyday cell turnover is what keeps skin and hair renewing.

What's established: B12 is essential for energy metabolism and red-blood-cell formation, and low levels are common in some groups. What isn't: evidence that extra B12 improves energy or appearance in people whose levels are already normal.

Vitamin B6 ingredient in Gelagen gummies

Pyridoxine Hydrochloride

Vitamin B6: The Quiet Multitasker

Vitamin B6 takes part in more than 100 enzyme reactions, most of them in protein metabolism. It also helps make haemoglobin and several neurotransmitters. Low B6 status has been linked to dermatitis, cracked lip corners and a sore tongue, which is why it shows up in skin-focused formulas.

Gelagen lists 2 mg (118% DV), well below the 100 mg daily upper limit for adults. That margin matters: nerve symptoms reported with B6 come from long-term intakes many times higher than this.

What's established: B6 is central to protein metabolism, and deficiency can affect the skin. What isn't: proof that extra B6 improves skin in people who are not deficient.

Vitamin B9

Folate: Built for Fast-Growing Cells

Folate helps make DNA and RNA and is needed for cell division. That makes it relevant to fast-renewing tissues, including skin and the hair follicle, which is one of the most active tissues in the body. Dark leafy greens, beans, lentils and citrus are the classic food sources.

One serving provides 442 mcg DFE (111% DV). Pairing folate with B12, as Gelagen does, makes sense: high folic acid intake on its own can hide the signs of a B12 deficiency.

What's established: folate is essential for cell division and red-blood-cell formation. What isn't: evidence that folate supplements improve hair or skin when your diet already covers your needs.

Pantothenic Acid ingredient in Gelagen gummies

Vitamin B5 · D-Calcium Pantothenate

Pantothenic Acid: The 'From Everywhere' Vitamin

The name comes from the Greek pantothen, meaning 'from everywhere', because nearly every food contains a little of it. Pantothenic acid is part of coenzyme A, which the body needs to build fatty acids, including the lipids that help form the skin's barrier.

Gelagen includes 5.2 mg (104% DV). Many shampoos and moisturisers contain a related compound, panthenol. That is a topical ingredient, and a gummy works differently, but it shows how closely B5 is tied to skin and hair care.

What's established: B5 is essential for coenzyme A and fat metabolism, and deficiency is extremely rare. What isn't: good evidence that oral B5 improves skin or hair appearance.

The Supporting Cast

Eight More Nutrients on the Panel

Smaller amounts, but each has a clear job in normal skin, hair and nail upkeep.

Vitamin A630 mcg · 70% DV

Helps maintain normal skin and supports cell growth. Fat-soluble and stored, so Gelagen's partial dose leaves room for food. If you're pregnant, check your total vitamin A intake with your clinician.

Vitamin C20 mg · 22% DV

An antioxidant and a required cofactor for your body's own collagen formation. Citrus, berries and peppers supply the rest easily.

Vitamin D10 mcg (400 IU) · 50% DV

Supports normal cell function, bones and immunity. Many adults run low in winter or with little sun exposure.

Vitamin E7.4 mg · 49% DV

A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps protect cell membranes, including in skin.

Zinc2.7 mg · 25% DV

Helps maintain normal skin, hair and nails, and supports immune function and wound healing. A modest dose, well below the 40 mg upper limit.

Iodine42 mcg · 28% DV

Needed to make thyroid hormones, which influence hair growth cycles. If you have a thyroid condition, discuss this with your doctor.

Choline0.04 mg · <1% DV

Present in trace amounts only. Eggs, fish and meat remain the meaningful sources.

Inositol40 mcg · no DV

A vitamin-like compound found in fruit, beans and grains. It's included in a very small amount.

What's not on the label

Collagen. The name suggests it, but the published panel doesn't list collagen. If collagen peptides matter to you, you would need a separate product.

Proprietary blends. There are none. Every nutrient has a stated amount, which is the transparency we'd want from any supplement.

Iron, copper and selenium aren't included. If you suspect low iron, which is a common cause of hair shedding, ask for a blood test rather than guessing.

Allergies & diet: other ingredients (gelling agent, sweeteners, flavours, colours) weren't fully listed in the materials we reviewed. Check the bottle if you're vegetarian, vegan or have allergies, since many gummies use gelatin.
