Facts

Biotin is a B-complex vitamin that is required for the production of fatty acids and glucose, which the body uses as fuel. It is also necessary for amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism. Biotin deficiency is uncommon. However, if it occurs, it can cause skin rashes, hair loss, excessive cholesterol levels in the blood, and heart problems.
