Life Extension Biotin 600 mcg Vitamin B7 Support Supplement for Beautiful Hair, Nails & Beyond – Gluten-Free, Non-GMO - 100 Capsules : Health & Household

Description

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the vitamin B family. It’s necessary for the production of keratin, a protein that is a structural component of hair, nails and skin. As we get older, our bodies produce less of the structural proteins that we need to maintain healthy hair, skin and nails. Biotin helps produce keratin, one of those important proteins. Biotin Benefits Supports healthy hair, skin & nails Necessary for cellular energy production Promotes healthy gene expression Product Details Biotin, sometimes referred to as vitamin B7, is a member of the water-soluble B-complex family, normally only required in small amounts. Biotin is used as a cofactor in the body, supporting the activities of enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis (the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources) and amino acid breakdown. Biotin is also needed for cellular energy production as a cofactor for the TCA-cycle, or Krebs cycle, enzymes. A growing body of evidence further suggests biotin may play an important role in gene expression. Biotin is essential for production of the protein keratin, and therefore supports healthy hair, skin and nails. Biotin is an unnumbered member of the water soluble B-complex family, normally only required in minute amounts. Biotin is used as a cofactor of enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism, gluconeogenesis, and amino acid catabolism, and is essential in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Biotin plays an important role in metabolic functioning as a coenzyme carrier of activated carbon dioxide in the TCA cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle). In its coenzyme form, biotin synthesizes glucose from non-carbohydrate sources, and synthesizes and breaks down certain fatty acids and amino acids.
