Lazo-de-la-Vega-Monroy, M-L, et al. (2017). Effectsof dietary biotin supplementation on glucagon production, secretion, and action.DOI: This hair oil treatment has biotin as the first main ingredient. Besides that, this OGX product has collagen and hydrolyzed wheat protein. Collagen is great for your hair, and the wheat protein less so, but this is a good mix. Dietary avidin, a glycoprotein in raw egg whites, binds tightly to dietary biotin and prevents biotin’s absorption in the gastrointestinal tract [ 13, 14]. Cooking denatures avidin, making it unable to interfere with biotin absorption [ 13].

At least a third of pregnant women develop marginal biotin deficiency in spite of normal biotin intakes; plasma and breastmilk concentrations of biotin decrease in lactating women, even when their dietary biotin intakes exceed the AI [ 2, 18, 22]. Additional research is needed to understand the clinical significance of these findings. Biotin and Health Hair, nail, and skin health Aqueous Solubility and Henry’s Law Constants of Organic Compounds, p. 5-141, states that biotin solubility is 0.35gkg −1H 2O (0.035 mass%) at 25°C. Most biotin in foods is bound to protein, although some dietary biotin is in the free form [ 1, 3, 4, 6]. Gastrointestinal proteases and peptidases break down the protein-bound forms of ingested biotin into biocytin and biotin-oligopeptides, which undergo further processing by biotinidase, an enzyme, in the intestinal lumen to release free biotin [ 6]. The free biotin is then absorbed in the small intestine, and most biotin is stored in the liver [ 1, 3, 6].However, biotin is also in many familiar foods you likely already eat. Things like eggs, mushrooms, nuts, peanuts, sweet potatoes, milk products, and many more foods have biotin in them. With this many common foods having biotin in them, it is hard to avoid getting the amount you need. What This Does For Hair Growth Boccaletti V, Zendri E, Giordano G, Gnetti L, De Panfilis G.

Biotin can interact with certain medications, and some medications can have an adverse effect on biotin levels. One example is provided below. Individuals taking this and other medications on a regular basis should discuss their biotin status with their health care providers. Anticonvulsants Biotin is particularly beneficial when it comes to metabolizing and using sugars from food, helping to stave off the onset of type 2 diabetes. People that don’t get their daily recommended dose of biotin may experience such symptoms as weight gain, digestive issues, fatigue, low energy, loss of appetite, mood swings, and possibly the development of diabetes. 3) Blood Sugar Kury S, Ramaekers V, Bezieau S, Wolf B. Clinical utility gene card for: Biotinidase deficiency-update 2015. Eur J Hum Genet 2016;24. [ PubMed abstract] You certainly need to get a small amount of biotin from your diet each day to stay healthy. It is especially important for pregnant women to get sufficient biotin to ensure the health of their fetus. Biotin is often bound in dietary sources to proteins as amide on lysine. By digestion, it's metabolised to biocytin, then to free biotin.

Biotin comes in many different forms for you to use, as you have likely noticed. It almost has as many different names as it does forms. The second most popular name for biotin is Vitamin B7, but biotin is also known as Vitamin H. There are even lesser-known names than that.Li D, Radulescu A, Shrestha RT, Root M, Karger AB, Killeen AA, et al.

[ PubMed abstract] Biotin prevents achy joints and stiff and sore muscles by reducing inflammation. When one does not get enough B vitamins, serious consequences may result.
