The FDAâs decision to give the thumbs up to spirulina as a source of blue color in candy and gum finally gives US firms a natural alternative to artificial FD&C Blue #1 ('brilliant blue') and opens up new opportunities in natural greens, say color suppliers.
Actually I just looked it up to make sure and yes biotin is created in the large intestine by bacteria. Also vitamin K is as well, but vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin where biotin is water soluble. Source(s): http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pat... Plus having CF makes me take a lot of vitamins plus its an interesting topic to me.
Vitamins are an important part of food and are absorbed through the small intestine. Vitamins are grouped based on how your body absorbs them. Water-soluble B-complex and C vitamins dissolve in water prior to absorption. Fat-soluble vitamins -- A, D, E and K -- dissolve in fat to be absorbed and stored for later use. Water-soluble vitamins are not easily stored and surplus amounts are excreted in your urine. Fat-soluble vitamins require bile acids for absorption and are stored in the liver and fatty tissue of the body.
