Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin essential for numerous physiological processes. It plays a critical role in:
Biotin functions as a coenzyme for various carboxylases, particularly in the carboxylation of pyruvate and acetyl-CoA, aiding energy production and metabolic balance. It supports the growth and regeneration of skin, hair, and nails by promoting epidermal cell differentiation. At the cellular level, Biotin enhances keratin infrastructure, which is vital for healthy hair and nail structure. Deficiency may lead to dermatitis, hair loss, and aciduria.
