Biotin (Vitamin B7 or
Vitamin H)
BIOTIN
Helps produce healthy-looking hair
and nails.
Biotin
is a water-soluble member of the B-complex group of vitamins and is
commonly referred to as vitamin H. The biochemical acts as a carrier for
carbon dioxide in the pyruvate carboxylase reaction, where biotin is
linked to the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue in the enzyme.
Biotin is necessary for both metabolism and growth in humans, particularly
with reference to production of fatty acids, antibodies, digestive
enzymes, and in niacin (vitamin B-3) metabolism. Food sources for biotin
are liver, kidney, soy flour, egg yolk, cereal, and yeast. Biotin
deficiency is rare but people can become deficient through long-term use
of antibiotics or by regularly eating raw egg whites. There are
suggestions that biotin is also capable of curing baldness, alleviating
muscle pain and depression, and functions as a cure for dermatitis,
although there is no substantial evidence for any of these claims. Biotin
deficiency results in fatigue, depression, nausea, muscle pains, hair
loss, and anemia. It's estimated minimum daily requirement is between 30
mcg to 300 mcg.
