Biotin, also known as Vitamin H, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in several metabolic processes, including fatty acid synthesis, amino acid breakdown, and gluconeogenesis. It acts as a cofactor in enzymatic carboxylation reactions involving pyruvate and acetyl-CoA.
Biotin supports the growth, differentiation, and regeneration of epidermal cells, making it vital for healthy skin, hair, and nails. It functions as a coenzyme for mitochondrial carboxylases within hair follicles, helping to strengthen keratin structure. Deficiency of biotin may lead to hair loss, dermatitis, and other systemic manifestations such as aciduria. Due to these benefits, biotin is widely prescribed as a nutritional supplement for various types of hair loss.
