Biotin Is More Than Just a Beauty Vitamin

Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

• Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a vital role in converting food into energy and supporting overall metabolic function
• Biotin is widely recognized for its role in supporting healthy hair, skin, and nails by helping the body produce keratin and other structural proteins
• In addition to its beauty benefits, biotin supports nervous system health, blood sugar regulation, and cardiovascular wellness, contributing to overall vitality and well-being
• During pregnancy, biotin needs increase and are essential for normal fetal development, making adequate intake important for expectant mothers
• Your body does not store biotin, so a consistent intake through diet is important. It is naturally present in foods such as eggs, beef liver, salmon, mushrooms, lentils, sweet potatoes, and whole grains
