Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, coenzyme R or vitamin H, is a water-soluble B vitamin present especially in the skin, hair, nails, nerves, and bone marrow. It helps convert proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into energy, promoting metabolism, normal body weight, and higher energy levels. It contributes to maintaining normal mucous membranes and helps the body use glucose, thus maintaining normal blood sugar levels. Biotin benefits the health of the nervous system, cognitive functions of the brain, and mood. It is beneficial in increasing good HDL cholesterol levels while helping to reduce bad LDL cholesterol. Biotin also helps repair and build muscle tissue and supports thyroid and adrenal function, promoting good mood, metabolism, normal body weight, energy levels, appetite, and sleep. A deficiency of this vitamin can result in improper foetal development.
