Is Biotin and B12 the Same?
There are 8 kinds of vitamins in the vitamin B complex: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folate (B9, also known as folic acid), and cobalamin (B12).

Can you take biotin and B12 together?

No interactions were found between biotin and Vitamin B12.

Do I need to take biotin and B12?

Similar to taking biotin with a multivitamin, you may get an unnecessarily high dose of the nutrient. The same goes for taking biotin and B12 together — there's no need to pick between biotin vs. B12, as both are part of the B complex and thus work together, according to the NLM.
