Can I take Accrete d3 and Biotin together?

Why this happens

Biotin (Vitamin B7) is often used in the technology (assays) that laboratories use to test blood samples. If you have high levels of biotin in your blood, it can physically interfere with the chemicals in the test, leading to an incorrect reading.

You can continue taking both, but you must tell your doctor or the laboratory staff that you are taking a biotin supplement before you have any blood tests. You may be advised to stop taking biotin for 48 to 72 hours before your blood is drawn to ensure the test results are accurate.
