Biotin (Vitamin B7) and Ketamine Therapy | Tovani Health
Biotin (also: Vitamin B7) — B-complex vitamin (hair/nail/skin supplement)
Verdict at Tovani Health
Fully compatible with KAP; the lab-test interference is the well-known biotin quirk worth knowing.
Biotin and ketamine have no clinically significant interaction. The well-known biotin issue is lab-test interference: high-dose biotin (5,000-10,000 mcg/day, common for hair/nail) can produce false-positive or false-negative results on biotin-based immunoassays including TSH, troponin, hCG, and some hormone panels. This matters for any lab work you have done — not for KAP itself. Stop biotin 24-72 hours before lab draws if accuracy matters.
If you take Biotin regularly and are considering at-home ketamine therapy, the combination is generally safe at therapeutic doses. This page covers the brief pharmacologic context and what we do at intake.
How Biotin interacts with ketamine
Biotin is a cofactor for carboxylase enzymes. The supplemental excess saturates streptavidin-biotin lab assay chemistry, producing artifactual results. No direct ketamine interaction.
What we do at intake
Continue as normal. Tell any lab if you take high-dose biotin so they can adjust the assay.
