Biotin (also known as vitamin H and vitamin B7) is a water-soluble vitamin which is required for normal cellular functions, growth and development. Biotin is an important cofactor for many mitochondria and cytoplasm enzymes: acetyl-CoA carboxylase a (ACCa),7 ACCb, pyruvate carboxylase (PC), propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC), and methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) and plays critical role in in the intermediate metabolism of gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and amino acid catabolism. The vitamin cannot be synthesized by humans and must be obtained from diet. If there is a lack of biotin, an organism starts suffering from biotin deficiency, a condition which is very common among pregnant women, for example. The vitamin deficiency effects hair, nail growth and skin health. For preventing measures, biotin should be taken as a dietary supplement (in a form of vitamin complex or as a pure biotin) which are marketed worldwide under different names. Biotin is a part of many formulations which were approved by FDA.

Recommended daily dosage is 10 ml (in a form of infuvite adult) or 1 tablet a day in a form of Biotin dietary supplement (the dosage may vary).
Route of Administration:
Other
Human T lymphoma Jurkat cells and monocytic myeloid U937 cells were incubated with different concentrations of biotin (nM): 0.025, 0.25 and 10, representing plasma levels in biotin-deficient, biotin-sufficient and biotin-supplemented adults. When taken together with folate, biotin synergizes in the repression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and long-terminal repeats (LTRs), mediated by interactions between HLCS and other chromatin proteins.
