Overview
Biotin is necessary for formation of fatty acids and glucose, which are used as fuels by the body. It is also important for the
metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates.
Biotin is found in various foods, including liver, cauliflower, salmon, carrots, bananas, soy flour, cereals, and yeast. Biotin
content of food is reduced by cooking and preserving. A lack of biotin is rare. However, if it occurs it may lead to skin rash, loss
of hair, high blood levels of cholesterol, and heart problems.
Some conditions may increase your need for biotin. These include:
- Genetic disorder of biotin deficiency
- Seborrheic dermatitis in infants
- Surgical removal of the stomach
Increased need for biotin should be determined by your health care professional.

What the Science Says
Biotin supplementation is recommended during pregnancy because the biotin requirement rises during pregnancy and a substantial number
of pregnant women become biotin depleted. Extra biotin is also needed during long-term anticonvulsant treatment which depletes biotin.
Biotin deficiency can occur with prolonged intravenous feeding or the frequent consumption of raw egg whites which contain a biotin antagonist called avidin.

Claims that biotin supplements are effective in the treatment of acne, eczema (a type of skin disorder), or hair loss have not been proven.

Hair Loss
According to experts, this nutrient [biotin] is also essential for hair growth. It's so important that biotin supplements are often
prescribed right alongside medical hair loss treatments such as Propecia, Proscar, or minoxidil (Rogaine, Ronoxidil).
"Biotin is a major component in the natural hair manufacturing process -- it is essential to not only grow new hair, but it also plays
a major role in the overall health of skin and nails," says Andrew Lessman, clinical researcher.
While Lessman says we can get biotin from our diet -- it's present in foods like liver and egg yolks -- we would have to consume
thousands of calories daily to get what our hair needs. That's one reason why he and so many dermatologists suggest biotin
supplements.
The recommended daily intake (RDI) of biotin is a scant 300 mcg -- and even the healthiest diets usually
contain no more than 30 to 50 mcg, says Lessman.

Cautions
No side effects have been reported for biotin in amounts up to 10 milligrams a day. However, check with your health care professional
if you notice any unusual effects while you are taking it.

Manufacturer's Description
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal growth and body function. Biotin is a key regulatory element in
gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and in the metabolism of some amino acids. Alongside its role in energy production, Biotin
enhances the synthesis of certain proteins. In addition, Biotin promotes normal immunity and plays a critical role in skin health.
