Can You Take Vitamin B5 and Biotin Together?
May affect absorption
The short answer
Pantothenic acid (B5) and biotin (B7) share the same intestinal transporter (SMVT). High doses of one may reduce absorption of the other.
How to arrange timing
At standard B-complex doses this is not significant. Separate by 1-2 hours if taking megadoses.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
