Description
Biotin is referred to by some sources as vitamin H, which comes from its German name: (Haar und Haut, German words “hair and skin”) but we can also find writings about it as vitamin B7.

Biotin or also known as vitamin B-7
With a healthy, balanced diet, biotin deficiency disease is rare. A healthy gut flora can produce many times the amount needed daily. However, many indigestion, extreme diet, or long-term antibiotic treatment can lead to a deficiency.
Some sources refer to it as vitamin H, which comes from its German name: (Haar und Haut, German words “hair and skin”) but we can also find writings about it as vitamin B7.
It is found in many cosmetic products that have been developed to treat hair, nails and skin. It is also often recommended as a dietary supplement to strengthen hair, skin and nails.
The most common symptoms of biotin deficiency are:
- Hair loss (alopecia)
- Chronic conjunctivitis
- Exfoliating skin in the form of dermatitis (red rash around the eyes, nose, mouth and genitals)
- Neurological symptoms in adults such as depression, lethargy, hallucinations, numbness and tingling in the limbs
Vitamin B-7 is found in many raw foods. It decomposes at temperatures above 100 degrees, which is why it occurs in cooked foods but not in fried foods at higher temperatures. Foods with significant biotin content include chard, raw egg yolk, liver and leafy vegetables. Its absorption and utilization are affected by the proteins found in food. For example, raw egg protein completely neutralizes the biotin in its yolk.
Vitamin B-7 plays an important role in the following physiological processes:
- participates in normal energy-producing metabolic processes,
- contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system,
- participates in the normal metabolism of macronutrients,
- contributes to the maintenance of normal psychological function,
- contributes to the maintenance of the normal condition of the hair and skin,
- contributes to the maintenance of the normal condition of the mucous membranes.
