What is Biotin?

Biotin is a coenzyme and a B vitamin, and is, also, known as vitamin H. Biotin occurs naturally in many foods. Wheat germ, whole-grain cereals, whole wheat bread, eggs, dairy products, nuts, Swiss chard, salmon, and chicken are all sources of biotin. The biotin in food is usually attached to protein and has relatively poor absorption. Biotin is used for preventing & treating biotin deficiency associated with pregnancy, long-term tube feeding, malnutrition, and rapid weight loss. It is also used orally for hair loss, brittle nails, skin rash in infants (seborrheic dermatitis), diabetes, and mild depression. How does it work? Biotin is an important component of enzymes in the body that break down certain substances like fats, carbohydrates, and others. It supports the health of the skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells. Biotin may, also, help to treat some types of nerve pathology, such as the peripheral neuropathy that can result from kidney failure or diabetes.
	New Omnitrition's Hair & Nails®! Contains:  1000 mcg of Biotin For healthier hair & nails! Gail Farrell, Laguna Niguel, CA- "Before using Omnitrition's Hair & Nails, I had split ends, my hair was a bit dry & the growth seemed a little slow. Now, my hair is growing much faster & my nails, too. Being an outdoor person, no matter how hard I tried to keep my hair protected, it is exposed to the sun, wind, & swimming. And those ponytails, I always seem to end up wearing for bad hair days. All of that considered, it is wonderful to have long hair that feels healthy, looks shiny, and is easy to maintain."
