Guarantee
In this review, we regret to have found that Solgar does not disclose any information about a return policy or a guarantee. This is definitely to Solgar’s disadvantage as most leading brands offer a 365-day 100% money-back guarantee. We would like to point out that this is a major concern as it gives a bad impression about the manufacturer’s confidence in their product.
Our Review Summary Of Solgar Biotin
In this review, we have found that Solgar Biotin is free of, gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, yeast, sugar, sodium, artificial flavor, sweetener, preservatives, and color. Although we have found that vegetable magnesium stearate is found in the ingredients, and this is an unpleasant fact as magnesium stearate is commonly associated with the risk of contamination. There is no return policy or guarantee stated by the manufacturer, which brings us to the conclusion that alternative manufacturers should be looked into.
