    Glossary Biotin

    water-soluble vitamin essential for metabolism and healthy hair

    Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in the body's metabolism by helping convert food into energy. It is essential for maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails, and is often included in supplements aimed at improving these aspects. Biotin also supports the function of enzymes involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose.
