A B Vitamin necessary for certain enzymes to be able to function normally. Without these enzymes the body can't utilize carbohydrates, proteins and fats. When that happens, specific abnormal metabolites (poisons) build up in the body, creating a whole host of devastating symptoms. Immune deficiencies in children have been linked to biotin deficiency.
a vitamin that releases energy from foods, plays a role in metabolism of amino acids, and is needed for normal hair production and growth. The current RDA is 300 micrograms per day. You can also find more information and obtain biotin in our Nutri-Vite(tm) Mega Vitamins.
Low-molecular-weight compound used as a coenzyme. Useful technically as a covalent label for proteins, allowing them to be detected by the egg protein avidin, which binds extremely tightly to biotin.
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that is used as a chemical tag for nucleic acid probes. Since the biotin-scavenging protein, streptavidin, linked to a fluorescent molecule can bind biotin with high affinity, it can be used in the GeneChip® system for detection of transcript abundance.
Biotin or Vitamin H is a growth factor present in minute amounts in every living cell. Occurs mainly bound to proteins or polypeptides. Biotin has been found to accelerate the protein within the hair producing cells of the follicle and papillae. Researhc has now found that Biotin acts as an enzyme to metabolize and neutralize the excess testostorone in the scalp. Applied topically to the scalp, Biotin has shown itself overwhelmingly successful in reducing hair fallout.
A member of the B complex vitamins.
A colorless crystalline B complex vitamin C10-H16-N2-O3-S, essential for the activity of many enzyme systems and found in large quantities in liver, egg yolk, milk, and yeast. Biotin is popularly believed to be beneficial to hoof growth and quality, and is often included in horse feed supplements.

A 244-molecular-weight vitamin found in tissue and blood. It binds with a high affinity to avidin.
Biotin is needed for growth as well as to minimize depression, hair loss and fatigue. Liver, kidney, egg yolk and yeast.
A d-isomer of the vitamin B complex, present in and required by most animals as it participates in carboxylation.
One of the essential water-soluble vitamins manufactured in the gut by bacteria. Symptoms of biotin deficiency include lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and depression. The recommended daily allowance of biotin is 300mg.
a water-soluble B vitamin that plays an important role in metabolizing the energy
A member of the vitamin B complex.
Water soluble vitamin that increases energy production, promotes normal cholesterol levels and reduces blood sugar levels, strengthens nails and hair and co-factor to several enzyme systems in the body.
A water-soluble B-complex vitamin essential for the function of enzyme systems that play a part in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. Biotin is used in cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. It plays a role in the Krebs Cycle, which is the process in which energy is released from food. Biotin is helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. Biotin is also a constituent of Vitamin H, which has been scientifically demonstrated to promote the growth of healthy hair. Deficiencies result in dry skin, certain types of dermatitis, lack of energy and hair loss. Research has shown it aids in keeping hair from turning grey.
A member of the B complex family, necessary for metabolism of amino acids and essential fatty acids, and in forming immune anti-bodies. Research shows enhanced immune response on all levels.
Is a water-soluble B vitamin and acts as a Coenzyme during the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates.
promotes healthy skin, hair and nails; supports the nervous system, GI tract, and cardiovascular system.
Biotin is involved with metabolism of protein, fat, carbohydrate and cholesterol metabolism. Found in eggs, liver and milk.

Commonly known as vitamin H.
A water-soluble, sulfur-containing B vitamin in which plays an essential role in the rnetabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
A B vitamin made in your body by friendly bacteria in your small intestine.
A vitamin of the B complex. It is a co-enzyme for various enzymes that catalyse the incorporation of carbon dioxide into various compounds. It is essential for the metabolism of fats. Biotin is attached to pyruvate carboxylase by a long, flexible chain like that of lipoamide in the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Adequate amounts are normally produced by the intestinal bacteria in animals. a.k.a. vitamin H (in USA).
Helps stimulate the development of healthy tissue and is important in fatty acid metabolism. BACK
is necessary for both metabolism and growth in humans, particularly with reference to production of fatty acids, antibodies, digestive enzymes, and in Niacin ( Vitamin B-3) metabolism. Helps the body maintain healthy skin.
A vitamin that helps with energy metabolism, fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis in humans.
This vitamin is used for fat, protein and Carbohydrate metabolism, cell growth, and fatty acid production.
A water soluble B vitamin essential for metabolism of fat and carbohydrates.
Vitamin essential to cellular metabolism, help metabolize fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Biotin helps prevent anemia, muscular pain and skin disorders, as well as heart disease.
Another of the Vitamin B set, a cofactor required by enzymes to carry carbon and oxygen between cells (carboxylation reactions). It is necessary to metabolize fat and carbohydrates. (more info - biotin) find all NHC pages containing: biotin
A vitamin that used to be known as vitamin H. Biotin delivers and frees energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and is required for good growth and healthy skin. It is present in liver, milk, yeast, and butter.
A naturally occurring vitamin H. Some studies show that it has a positive effect on hair growth when taken internally.
A colorless crystalline vitamin of the B complex, found especially in yeast, liver, and egg yolk.
Biotin is a vitamin that aids your body in metabolizing fat and amino acids. Biotins can be found in egg yolks, cauliflower, nuts and legumes.
An essential coenzyme that assists in the making of fatty acids and in the burning of carbohydrates and fats for body heat and energy. It is also essential for function of red blood cells and hemoglobin synthesis.
A vitamin that is vital for healthy circulation.
This is one of the B complex vitamins that is required by the body for the utilization of fat. It is present in liver, egg yolk and legumes. Deficiency is very rare.
An essential nutrient that is part of the "B-complex" family of vitamins. Biotin is necessary for healthy hair, skin and nails (these products often contain high amounts of biotin). Biotin is also essential for normal metabolism of fat and protein and aids in cell growth and fatty acid production. Biotin also aids in the utilization of the other B-complex vitamins.
