Accepted Answer

Biotin IM (intramuscular) and Biotin IV (intravenous) refer to two different methods of administering Biotin. 
Biotin IM involves getting Biotin injected directly into the muscle tissue either in the upper forearm or your glute. This injection is typically given in the form of a shot and the Biotin is gradually absorbed by the bloodstream through the muscle.
