Biotin is suitable for-

Pharmacology

Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is an essential vitamin. It is involved in vital physiological processes such as fatty acid synthesis, amino acid catabolism, and gluconeogenesis. It is required for the enzymatic carboxylation of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA. Biotin influences epidermal cell growth and differentiation, making it essential for the formation and renewal of skin, hair, and nails. It functions as a coenzyme of mitochondrial carboxylase in the hair root and improves keratin structure. Biotin deficiency can result in hair loss as well as a variety of systemic symptoms such as dermatitis and aciduria. Biotin is a popular nutritional supplement
