Biotin, sometimes referred to as vitamin H, is actually a member of the vitamin B family. It can be found in foods such as nuts, sardines, legumes, cauliflower, brewer’s yeast, liver and kidney meats and egg yolk. It is naturally produced in the body as well in the intestines. It is an essential nutrient and can be very beneficial to the body. However, the body doesn’t always produce enough biotin and if you lack in a nutrient rich diet, you can end up deficient. When you have a biotin deficiency you can find yourself with thinning hair, brittle nails, balding, facial rashes, and even depression, loss of appetite, numbness in your extremities, fatigue and hallucinations. If there is a deficiency in babies, it can lead to developmental delay. Taking a biotin supplement can help with these problems and even bring on benefits that you normally don’t have such as great hair and nails. The supplement replaces the much needed vitamin that your body is lacking. People who may become deficient are people who are have a very bad diet, people who are on feeding tubes, patients that have parts of their small intestine removed and people who eat a large amount of row eggs because it actually attacks the biotin that is naturally made in your body. If you are not deficient you can still reap the extra benefits of biotin. It plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by working as a coenzyme and carrying carbon dioxide. By taking a biotin supplement you can increase your energy and start to feel better and have less lethargy. It can help people with diabetes by helping to break down the carbs that you take in which lowers blood sugar levels. It can even help with weight loss as the vitamin is essential in the conversion of fats and proteins to energy.
