Biotin Deficiency: Lack of Biotin (Biotin Deficiency)
-
Biotin is a B vitamin that is responsible for many bodily functions. It is found in many foods and the nutritional requirement is small. Deficiency is extremely rare and occurs with a number of conditions and the use of medicines. A biotin deficiency is accompanied by numerous symptoms, including neurological complaints, skin problems and eye disorders. In most cases, dietary adjustment is sufficient to treat biotin deficiency, but in some cases supplements are necessary. Finally, the prospects of a biotin deficiency are good if the patient is treated.
Function of biotin, a vitamin B
-
Biotin is a B complex vitamin also known as vitamin H or B7. Like all B vitamins, biotin is soluble in water. The body is therefore unable to store this vitamin as biotin dissolves in water. This vitamin helps the body convert carbohydrates into glucose, which the body needs to make energy. Biotin also helps in the conversion of fat and amino acids, which the body needs for the construction of proteins. Proteins are required to repair and maintain cells. Biotin is necessary for healthy skin, healthy hair, healthy eyes and good liver function. Pregnant women also need extra biotin, as this ensures embryonic growth. The production of biotin takes place in the intestines by the microbiome
