Biotin is an enzyme cofactor that assists in the release of energy from carbohydrates and in the production of fatty acids. Biotin also assists in activating the energy transfer molecule ATP.

Biotin in Onions and Carrots Back To Top

Biotin is an essential coenzyme for a variety of carboxylation reactions and is involved in the metabolism of fats, sugars and amino acids. Specifically, the utilization of fatty acids in energy production, and the removal of the amine group in the amino acid metabolism, thereby assisting amino acids in being synthesized into protein as well as the formulation of DNA and RNA. As early as 1940, biotin was being researched for its effectiveness in promoting healthy hair and nails.

Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin typically found in liver, egg yolk, cereals, legumes and nuts. In the body, biotin is found in low concentrations in the brain, liver and muscle tissue. Biotin is essential for normal skin and hair growth, lipid metabolism and energy production (ATP). Alcohol consumption decreases biotin status in the body.

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal growth and body function.  Biotin is a key regulatory element in gluconeogenisis, fatty acid synthesis, and in the metabolism of some amino acids.  Alongside its role in energy production, Biotin enhances the synthesis of certain proteins.

Biotin..Vitamin B7

 ...also known as Vitamin H or Coenzyme R.

Biotin is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids.

It plays a role in the Citric acid cycle, which is the process by which biochemical energy is generated during aerobic respiration.

Biotin not only assists in various metabolic reactions, but also helps to transfer carbon dioxide.

Biotin is also helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level.

Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails.

Consequently, it is found in many cosmetic and health products for the hair and skin.

has the chemical formula C10H16N2O3S (Biotin; Coenzyme R, Biopeiderm), is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin which is composed of an ureido (tetrahydroimidizalone) ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring.

A valeric acid substituent is attached to one of the carbon atoms of the tetrahydrothiophene ring.

Biotin is a cofactor in the metabolism of fatty acids and leucine, and in gluconeogenesis.

________________________

Biotin is widely distributed in a variety of foods, but most often at low concentrations.

Estimates are that the typical U.S. diet provides roughly 40 mcg/day.

There are only a couple of foods which contain biotin in large amounts, including royal jelly and brewer's yeast.

The best natural sources of biotin in human nutrition are swiss chard, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, and carrots.

This includes almonds, eggs, onions, cabbage, cucumber, cauliflower, goat's milk, cow's milk, raspberries, strawberries, halibut, oats, and walnuts.

• NOTE: U.S. Food and supplement labels show 30 mcg of biotin as providing only 10% DV (Daily Value) because DVs are based on older and in some instances outdated RDAs for nutrients.
• Thus, the DV for biotin is 300 mcg even though there is now consensus that 30 mcg is adequate.
• There is no current Tolerable Upper Limit (UL) set for biotin as research has indicated that high levels of intake by humans has no detrimental effects.

The frequency of marginal biotin status is not known, but the incidence of low circulating biotin levels in alcoholics has been found to be much greater than in the general population.

Also, relatively low levels of biotin have been reported in the urine or plasma of patients who have had partial gastrectomy or who have other causes ofachlorhydria, burn patients, epileptics, elderly individuals and athletes.

Pregnancy and lactation may be associated with an increased demand for biotin.

Hair Problems

Biotin supplements are often recommended as a natural product to counteract the problem of hair loss in both children and adults.

The signs and symptoms of biotin deficiency include hair loss which progresses in severity to include loss of eye lashes and eye brows in severely deficient subjects.

Children with a rare inherited metabolic disorder called phenylketonuria (PKU; in which one is unable to break down the amino acid phenylalanine) often develop skin conditions such as eczema and seborrheic dermatitis in areas of the body other than the scalp.

The scaly skin changes that occur in people with PKU may be related to poor ability to use biotin.

Increasing dietary biotin has been known to improve seborrheic dermatitis in these cases.

Diabetes

People with type 2 diabetes often have low levels of biotin. Biotin may be involved in the synthesis and release of insulin.

Preliminary studies in both animals and people suggest that biotin may help improve blood glucose control in those with diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes.

Specifically, biotin doses in excess of nutritional requirements lower postprandial glucose and improve glucose tolerance.

____________________

Signs of Biotin Deficiency: In general, appetite and growth are decreased. Dermatologic symptoms include dermatitis, alopecia (hair loss) and achromotrichia (absence or loss of pigment in the hair).

Perosis (a shortening and thickening of bones) is seen in the skeleton.

Fatty Liver and Kidney Syndrome (FLKS) and hepatic steatosis also can occur. *

Biotin..Vitamin B7

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that is required by our bodies due to its involvement in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Biotin is a cofactor in a wide variety of enzymatic reactions. It also helps form and maintain chemical structures known as "crosslinks" within the main protein found in hair and nails (keratin). Maintenance of these crosslinks helps to promote hair and nail strength.

Biotin aids in:  relieving muscle pain; promoting healthy sweat glands, nerve tissue, and bone marrow; healthy skin and hair; cell growth; the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins; the utilization of other B-complex vitamins.

Deficiencies: anemia, depression, hair loss, soreness of the tongue, nausea, muscular pain, loss of appetite, insomnia, high blood sugar. inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes.

      SOURCES: soybeans, whole grains, cooked egg yolks, meat, saltwater fish, poultry, brewer's yeast, milk. [3]

The Vitamin B Complex

....and as you will find in any nutritional healing book as well as Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A Balch, the B Vitamins are necessary for the maintenance of certain physiological functions and systems including, the nerves, eyes, hair, skin, mouth, liver, proper brain function and healthy gastrointestinal muscle tone.

The entire complex of B vitamins is necessary for energy production.  They are called coenzymes because they help the chemical reactions of enzymes with many other substances. 

B-complex vitamins are necessary for the relief of anxiety and depression. 

Elderly people need an adequate intake of the B vitamins as well as other vitamins because as we age we do not properly absorb nutrients. 

There have been cases of elderly people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease whose symptoms were relieved with the proper intake of Vitamin B-12 plus the B-Complex to relieve their depletion of these vitamins. 

The B vitamins work properly as a team but one can take more of some than others.
A deficiency in one B vitamin often indicates a deficiency in another. 

Although the B vitamins work in concert with each other, they will be discussed individually.

In addition, Biotin promotes normal immunity and plays a critical role in skin health.

Sincerely, Mother
