Biotin, also known as vitamin H or B7, is a water-soluble
vitamin necessary for normal growth, as well as for healthy skin, hair, and
nails.
Biotin is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and amino
acids (the building blocks of protein). It plays an important role in the Krebs
Cycle (the process in which energy is released from food). Biotin assists various
metabolic chemical exchanges, and aids in the transfer of carbon dioxide.
Biotin may also be helpful for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels that are
already within the normal range.*
Cautions and
Interactions
Long-term anticonvulsant (anti-seizure) and antibiotic
therapies may increase the need for biotin.
Large doses of the nutrient
pantothenic acid have the potential to compete with biotin for intestinal and
cellular uptake due to their similar structures. Very high (pharmacologic) doses
of lipoic acid have been found to decrease the activity of biotin-dependent
carboxylases in rats, but such an effect has not been demonstrated in humans.
