Biotin, Biotin, Natrol, Instant Dissolve, 1,000 mcg, 100 Tablets

Biotin is a vitamin sometimes referred to as vitamin H or B7. It is one of the eight B vitamins. Biotin is found naturally in many foods such as: meat, sea fish, cooked egg yolks, milk, poultry, legumes, whole grains, and brewer's yeast. Sometimes, the biotin content of food is reduced when foods are cooked or frozen. The best way to prepare biotin-rich food is to steam it. 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 levels 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

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: anemia, high blood sugar, inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes, insomnia, muscle pain, loss of appetite, nausea and ulcers on the tongue.

It is important to consume not biotin alone, but to have a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals in the diet. For more detailed advice, you can contact the manager on the Biotus website.
