Biotin plays an important role in the conversion of food (nutrients) to energy. It is part of the B-vitamin family, and is also referred to as Vitamin H or coenzyme R. Biotin is most commonly recognised for its ability to assist with skin, hair and nail health, but there is a lot more to this little nutrient and its benefits.

The word ‘biotin’ originates from the Greek word ‘biotos’ which means ‘life’ or ‘sustenance’. Beyond skin, hair and nail health, biotin is one of several B Vitamins that help keep your eyes, liver and nervous system healthy too. During pregnancy, biotin is especially critical for embryonic growth and has been shown to be a vital component for almost 2000 genes.

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that it is flushed out daily through urination. We always recommend a wholefood diet to obtain nutrients, however if you are deficient in biotin symptoms may include:
-Progressive hair loss
-Loss of hair colour
-Scaly, dry skin
-Depression
-Lethargy
-Poor glucose-regulation (such as Type 2 diabetes)
-Sores on the nose and in the mouth
-Conjunctivitis
-Skin rashes
-Developmental delays in infants
-Brittle nails

Incorporating our Sally-Ann Creed® Biotin-Bio supplement into your regime is a relatively inexpensive way to ensure your daily biotin needs are being met.
