General Information:

Biotin plays a key role in the body. It supports the health of the skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. Supplementing biotin has shown to have health improvements with people with many diseases. In people with diabetes, supplementing biotin with other vitamins could improve blood sugar levels. On its own, however, biotin may decrease insulin resistance.

Supplementing biotin has different effects depending on age and should be handled appropriately. Biotin supplements can range from 6 micrograms a day, up to 35 micrograms daily. Depending on your situation, your doctor may suggest that you take a higher or lesser dose. For example, diabetics would only be suggested to take 2 milligrams in combination with other supplements.

Biotin plays a major part in maintaining the health of our hair, nails, and skin. To be effective biotin must be ingested to be properly absorbed in the body. Biotin-rich founds are eggs, cauliflowers, avocados, berries, fish, and mushrooms.

Biotin is also known as Vitamin B7. It is a water-soluble coenzyme needed for the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose. Since it is water soluble, it is eliminated through urine and the body doesn’t build a reserve of biotin. Thus, it is ideal to ingest vitamin B7 daily to keep the bodily supply adequate. Biotin is needed to produce energy. Symptoms of a Vitamin B7 deficiency may include lack of energy, muscular pains, nerve damage, and dry skin and hair.

Biotin helps to convert glucose to energy, supporting a healthy metabolism. It also improves glucose intolerance and helps to balance blood sugar. It is known for helping to grow healthier and thicker hair, skin, and nails. It can improve cholesterol levels and fight against cognitive decline such as from Alzheimer’s or dementia. Vitamin B7 builds back muscles, so it is useful in repairing bodily tissues.

Consume Biotin supplements in moderation. Vitamin B7 toxicity has been reported. Certain medications may reduce the activity of B7, such as Isotretinoin. Consult a doctor if you are taking anti-seizure medication or oral antibiotics before use.
