Biotin (Vitamin H)
Biotin, or Vitamin H, is a B-complex vitamin that is known as a beauty nutrient for hair, skin and nails. As we age, our bodies produce less of the structural proteins that we need to keep our hair, skin and nails healthy and strong, including keratin. Biotin is found in foods like egg yolk, oats and spinach. A deficiency in Biotin can cause dry skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails. Biotin also supports energy and metabolism in the body, as it has the ability to turn carbohydrates and fats into energy.†

The Science Behind Biotin
A study published in Skin Appendage Disorders found that supplementation with Biotin displayed support for the health and growth of skin and nails, due to its involvement in protein synthesis and keratin production that makes it so efficient for healthy nail and hair growth. [1]
A study published in Archives of Medical Research describes Biotin’s essential role in metabolism. Biotin, a water-soluble vitamin, is used as a cofactor of enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Biotin also plays an essential role in the support of maintaining metabolism. [2]
A study published in the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease describes Biotin’s role in metabolism and gene expression. Biotin plays key roles in brain health and function as well. Biotin is essential for gene repression and DNA repair. There have been more than 2,000 biotin-dependent genes identified in human lymphatic and liver cells. Certain probiotic species like Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Ochromonas danica, Escherichia coli C162, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Kloeckera brevis depend on biotin for growth. It has been suggested that about half of the pregnant women in the U.S. are in some way biotin-deficient, despite a normal dietary biotin intake. [3]
