Biotin, Biotin, 21st Century, 10,000 mcg, 120 tabs

Biotin - This is a vitamin sometimes referred to as vitamin H or B7. It is one of the eight B vitamins. Biotin, as a coenzyme, is involved in energy production. It is one of the agents that converts food into energy by converting fats and carbohydrates into glucose and breaking down proteins into amino acids. Biotin levels are inversely related to sugar levels; high levels of biotin lower blood sugar and vice versa. Symptoms such as hair loss, skin irritation, fungus or eczema are common with biotin deficiency. Biotin promotes nail and hair growth.

Biotin deficiency is rare in adults as it is readily available in many foods. However, consumption of typically packaged foods can result in a loss of biotin along with a lot of other nutrients.

In infants, seborrheic dermatitis is one of the conditions that can be caused by a deficiency biotin. It is characterized by a dry, scaly scalp.

Lack of biotin is associated with depression. Other symptoms of biotin deficiency include anemia, high blood sugar, inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes, insomnia, muscle pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and ulcers on the tongue.
