Homemade Biotin-Rich Powder for Hair, Skin & Overall Health
I made this nutrient-dense biotin powder to help with my hair fall and for strengthening my body since I am following a plant based diet. I made it with nuts, seeds, and grains rich in biotin, iron, calcium, and omega-3s. I use it in smoothies, porridges, or even as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal. I hope it helps you.
