Gelagen Ingredients: Complete Label Analysis
Every milligram is printed on our Supplement Facts panel. Below is the full breakdown of all 13 nutrients in our formula.
Biotin — 5000mcg (16,667% DV)
Our flagship ingredient. Biotin is the most researched vitamin for hair, skin and nail keratin production. The 5000mcg dose is the level most commonly used in supplementation studies. Important: the FDA warns that biotin at this dose can interfere with cardiac troponin and thyroid lab tests.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) — 6mcg (250% DV)
We chose methylcobalamin, the bioactive form your body uses directly, over the cheaper cyanocobalamin. Supports red blood cell formation and cellular energy metabolism.
Vitamin B6 — 2mg (118% DV)
Involved in over 100 enzyme reactions including amino acid metabolism critical for keratin and collagen protein synthesis.
Folate — 442mcg DFE (111% DV)
Expressed in Dietary Folate Equivalents (260mcg folic acid). Essential for DNA synthesis and cell division — directly relevant to rapidly dividing skin, hair and nail cells.
Pantothenic Acid — 5.2mg (104% DV)
Vitamin B5 supports coenzyme A production, which is involved in fatty acid metabolism and skin barrier maintenance.
