Now Foods Biotin 10mg 120Veg Caps

Biotin (B7) is a water-soluble vitamin, necessary for the normal development and functioning of the body. Biotin, as a vitamin of the B vitamin complex, contributes to the maintenance of the proper functioning of the immune system, while it plays a catalytic role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins aimed at the production of energy.

The vitamin B7 is involved in a number of metabolic reactions such as fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis, leucine metabolism and branched chain amino acid metabolism. The action of biotin is due to its ability to bind and transport carbon dioxide, which is used as a substrate for many synthesis reactions.

Biotin deficiency or insufficiency, although extremely rare, can affect the skin and hair (seborrheic dermatitis, rash, dry skin, alopecia), but can also cause neurological disorders, exhaustion, muscle aches, and anorexia. . However, eating raw eggs for long periods of time can cause a lack of biotin, as it is associated with avidin. Avidin is a protein in the raw egg albumen that forms a stable complex with biotin and binds to it. In this way artificial vitamin deficiency can be created.  

Note: Biotin is produced by the gut microbiome, the population of bacteria that normally lives in the human gut. Biotin deficiency can be caused by all diseases that disturb the balance of intestinal flora. However, the use of supplements is judged on a case-by-case basis, under the supervision of the treating physician.
