What is Biosel Hair Skin & Nails?
Biosel is a targeted nutritional supplement by DiliGence combining high-dose Biotin, Zinc, and Selenium to address common deficiencies that affect hair, skin, and nail health. Biotin at 2500mcg supports keratin production — the structural protein that forms hair and nails. Zinc supports collagen synthesis and skin repair, while Selenium provides antioxidant protection against cellular damage. Together, these three ingredients target the most common nutritional causes of hair thinning, brittle nails, and dull skin.
What is Biosel Used For?
- Reducing hair thinning and supporting stronger hair growth (بالوں کا گرنا کم کرنا)
- Strengthening brittle or weak nails (ناخنوں کی مضبوطی)
- Improving skin texture, clarity, and overall appearance (جلد کی صحت)
- Correcting Biotin or Zinc deficiency affecting hair and skin (غذائی کمی)
- Supporting keratin production for hair and nail structure
- Antioxidant protection against skin-damaging free radicals (فری ریڈیکل سے بچاؤ)
- Supporting collagen synthesis for skin firmness and elasticity
How Does Biosel Work?
Biotin is a B-vitamin essential for keratin infrastructure — the protein matrix that gives hair and nails their strength and structure. At 2500mcg, it provides a therapeutic dose for those with deficiency-related hair loss or brittle nails. Zinc plays a critical role in collagen synthesis, wound healing, and regulating oil gland function in the skin — deficiency is a common but overlooked cause of hair loss and acne. Selenium at 55mcg acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting hair follicles and skin cells from oxidative stress and supporting healthy thyroid function, which directly influences hair growth cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How long before I see results with Biosel?
Hair and nail growth cycles are slow — most users notice meaningful improvement in hair strength and nail quality after 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily use. Skin improvements are often visible sooner, within 4 to 6 weeks.
Q: Can high-dose Biotin affect my blood test results?
Yes, Biotin at 2500mcg can interfere with certain laboratory tests including thyroid function and cardiac troponin tests. Always inform your doctor or lab that you are taking a high-dose Biotin supplement before any blood tests.
Q: Is Biosel suitable for men as well as women?
Yes, hair thinning, brittle nails, and skin issues related to Biotin, Zinc, or Selenium deficiency affect both men and women equally. Biosel is suitable for all adults regardless of gender.
Q: Can I take Biosel alongside a regular multivitamin?
Check your multivitamin for Zinc and Selenium content before combining. Exceeding the safe upper daily limit for these minerals — particularly Selenium — can cause toxicity. Ask your pharmacist before combining.
