Biotin (B7) is a vitamin known for its wonderful properties, it is a water-soluble vitamin known for its benefits in the growth of silky and healthy hair. It is considered to be the “energy vitamin” because Biotin can convert the food we eat into energy to power our daily activities.

As noted above, our body needs this vitamin to convert certain nutrients into energy. It also plays an important role in the health of hair, skin, and, yes, nails. However rare, a deficiency of Biotin in our body may result in the loss of hair, an unpalatable result. In most cases, however, the Biotin we get from a good balanced diet is enough to prevent deficiency and carry essential cellular functions. Still, many people see beneficial results by increasing their Biotin intake.

In men, the benefits of Biotin may help prevent hair loss given that Biotin plays a major role in hair growth by virtue of its role in keratin synthesis. Keratin is the primary protein that makes up the hair structure and contributes to the formation of a strong and healthy hair shaft.
