Description

Biotin is an essential vitamin that is also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H. Biotin influences the growth and differentiation of epidermal cells and is therefore important for the formation and renewal of the skin, hair, and nails. It functions as a coenzyme for mitochondrial carboxylases in hair roots and improves the keratin structure. Biotin deficiency may result in hair loss and a variety of systemic symptoms such as dermatitis and aciduria.
