BIOTIN
Biotin will keep you looking as good as you feel by encouraging healthy hair growth and radiant skin...
Biotin is a water soluble, sulphur-containing member of the B complex. Biotin is most well known for its promotion of healthy hair and skin. Cradle cap in infants and male pattern baldness may be related to low levels of biotin. Biotin also helps the functioning of the sweat glands, bone marrow and nerve tissue.
It is a cofactor for chemical reactions that occur in the cell’s engine, the mitochondria. Therefore biotin is an important vitamin in the production of fatty acids and the metabolism of food substances and B vitamins.
Strengthen Hair and Nail
Although there is little research to determine the effects biotin has on hair growth, there is strong evidence showing that a deficiency will cause hair loss. Biotin can help thicken nail cuticles and prevent breakage.
Skin Health
A deficiency in biotin may lead to numerous skin problems such as: rashes, acne, psoriasis, dermatitis and over all itchiness. If the skin is not nourished from the inside out toxins will manifest itself of the skin surface causing these problems. B vitamins help fight against these manifestations.
Weight Loss
Biotin supports metabolic functions and works as a co-enzyme to break down food - especially carbohydrates. The metabolic rate is increased and food is broken down faster when biotin is present. Because of this some people believe it can help with weight loss. However, there is no evidence showing that biotin is an effective weight loss pill.
Lowering Cholesterol and Regulating Blood Sugar
Research is being done to determine if biotin can reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. It has shown that it may lower cholesterol reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Biotin has been associated with helping to fight and prevent diabetes. Taking biotin and chromium together has shown to have a greater effect. It is believed that this combination can improve glycaemic control in overweight to obese individuals. A study done in 2005 found that biotin deficiency has also been linked to impaired glucose tolerance and decreased utilization of glucose.
Supplementing
All of the B vitamins work together and are best used by the body in a B complex, which is why many B complex supplements include a small dose of biotin in them. If additional supplementation of biotin is needed it should be taken in addition to a good B complex. Most B vitamins are water-soluble and any extra from large doses is flushed out of the body easily, therefore it's best to take lower dosages of the B complex several times a day than one larger dose. Spray or sublingual forms of B vitamins are easily absorbed, as are capsules - if your digestion is healthy, then the tablet form is usually suitable for most people.
The absorption of biotin is inhibited by the consumption of raw egg whites because the egg protein avidin binds to biotin in the intestine. Rancid fats or oils, antibiotics, sulfa drugs, estrogen, alcohol, food processing and saccharin also inhibit the use of biotin in the body.
