What is VITAMIN B-7 (BIOTIN) 10,000 mcg from Pure Nutrition?
Biotin, or vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that is part of the vitamin B complex – a group of key nutrients necessary for healthy metabolic, nervous, digestive and cardiovascular functions.
Biotin acts as a coenzyme in the body that is necessary for the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose. This means that when we eat foods that are sources of fat, protein, and carbohydrates, biotin — also called vitamin B7 — must be present to convert and utilize these macronutrients.
Biotin is known for its role in maintaining the health of our hair, nails, and skin.
Vitamin B7 is commonly added to beauty products, although it is thought to not be absorbed very well through the skin.
Health benefits of taking vitamin B7:
- Supports Healthy Hair, Skin, and Nails - Vitamin B7 is necessary for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails, so when someone is deficient in vitamin B7, symptoms can manifest as thinning, splitting, and brittle hair or dermatitis, which results in dry, irritated skin. Taking a biotin supplement can help support the production of proteins and enzymes that are necessary for hair growth. Biotin is beneficial for hair as it has been shown to help reduce alopecia (hair loss) in adults and to improve protein synthesis and the infrastructure of keratin, which is the protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails. Other benefits of biotin include helping to protect the skin from acne, fungal infections, rashes, and severe dryness and cracking.
- Supports Metabolism - Vitamin B7, along with other B vitamins, is needed to convert the food you eat into usable energy that supports a healthy metabolism. It converts glucose from carbohydrates and sugar sources into usable “fuel,” which is the body’s preferred source of energy. It helps the body use amino acids from proteins to perform numerous bodily functions. It activates fatty acids from fat-containing foods such as oils or animal fats. Without enough vitamin B7 in the body, symptoms of a slow metabolism can occur - low energy levels, fatigue, weight gain, digestive problems, possible development of diabetes, changes in appetite, low mood, and more.
Other health benefits of taking biotin are:
- May improve glucose intolerance and help balance blood sugar
