What is Biotin?
Biotin is part of the group of B-vitamins which also
includes choline, folic acid, inositol, vitamin B-1, vitamin B-2, vitamin B-3,
vitamin B-5, vitamin B-6 and vitamin B-12. Biotin can be found in egg yolks,
organ meats, bananas, carrots, milk, soy, salmon and barley, and is also
produced by the friendly bacteria inhabiting the body.
Biotin is involved in a variety of biological processes, including the
production of energy and the manufacture of fatty acids. Biotin is also involved
in the metabolism of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) and researchers speculate
that biotin may participate in DNA replication.
Deficiency
Biotin deficiency is rare and is characterized by
unpleasant neurological and psychological symptoms. Deficiencies may occur in
those with a poor diet, an inborn metabolic disorder, or even some otherwise
healthy pregnant women.
Health Benefits
In addition to being necessary for good health, biotin has
been shown to have other benefits. Some studies suggest that biotin may help
improve glucose tolerance, which may benefit individuals with type II diabetes.
Biotin has also been shown to help control “uncombable hair syndrome” in
children, and to help strengthen weak nails.
