Updated September 16, 2015. Biotin is a B vitamin involved in the production of energy. Available in supplement form and found naturally in a number of foods, biotin is essential for the formation of fatty acids and blood sugar (also called glucose). Sometimes referred to as vitamin H, biotin aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins as well.
Widely used in food and vitamin supplements, Biotin plays a role in cell growth. Biotin deficiency may lead to hair loss, skin rash, high cholesterol and heart problems. Nuts, liver, soybeans and fish are rich dietary sources of Biotin. Safety Information: The Food and Drug Administration reviewed the safety of Biotin and determined that it was Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) as a dietary supplement. The safety of Biotin has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel.
