PROPERTIES OF BIOTIN
Biotin is an important coenzyme that, acting synergistically with the other vitamins of the B complex, is necessary for the synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates and fatty acids.
It is not considered a true vitamin, because it can be synthesized within our body by the beneficial intestinal bacteria. Therefore, its lack is not common and is limited to special groups of the population, such as those who make long-term use of antibiotics or sulfonamides (drugs that destroy good intestinal bacteria), some newborns (very few), because mother's milk is poor in biotin, also newborns with specific genetic diseases, as well as people (especially bodybuilders) who consume large amounts of raw eggs.
Indeed the raw egg white contains avidin, a protein that prevents the absorption of biotin. Biotin deficiency can cause nausea, anorexia, depression, muscle aches, vomiting, high cholesterol, inflammation or pale skin, anemia and, in infants, seborrheic dermatitis. Especially for hair loss and baldness, taking biotin gives very good results if there is a lack of it in the body.
There is strong evidence that biotin helps prevent and treat a syndrome that occurs in people on long-term dialysis and is reminiscent of Alzheimer's disease, as its symptoms include disorientation, slurred speech, memory loss, tremors, difficulty walking . Biotin has no toxicity or side effects.
