The Secret to Better Skin, Hair and Nails
Do you tell yourself that the hair loss, dry skin and brittle nails is part of getting older? Well, stop that right now. There are not issues of aging, they are issues of not getting enough biotin.
What is Biotin?
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the family of Vitamin B, a family that includes eight Vitamins in total. It is also referred to as Vitamin B-7 or Vitamin H. H stands for German words ”Haar and Haut” means ”hair and skin.” Biotin comes from the Greek word ”biotos”, which means ”life or sustenance”. Biotin is required to keep skin, nails, hairs, liver, eyes, and nervous system healthy. As it is a water-soluble vitamin your body doesn’t store it, and you must take it from your diet. If you aren’t eating foods with biotin, you aren’t getting those lovely locks any time soon.
Why Do You Need Biotin?
Biotin is an essential micronutrient, and your body needs it to function properly. It is an essential component of enzymes that performs important cellular functions. Most importantly, the enzymes perform metabolism to extract energy from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates consumed by the diet. So, biotin is required to turn the food you eat into energy. Besides this, it supports the health of skin, hair, nails, and nerves. Studies have also proven biotin’s role in regulating blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
What Are The Symptoms of Not Having Enough Biotin?
Although biotin deficiency is rare, it can occur. The symptoms of biotin deficiency appear gradually and include brittle hairs, hair thinning with progressive loss of hairs, skin changes (dry, scaly, red rash on skin), dry eyes, insomnia, appetite changes, prickling or burning sensation in hands and feet, muscle aches and pains and difficulty walking. These are some of the commonly experienced symptoms. A blood test can tell you the levels of biotin in your body but you have to ask specifically for this test because it is not often done. Consumption of raw eggs regularly can also cause biotin deficiency because it prevents its absorption in the body. If you take your dietary advice from Gaston (Beauty and the Beast reference) you are not absorbing biotin well.
How Can You Get Biotin?
The recommended daily intake of biotin is 30 micrograms for adults, including pregnant females, and 35 micrograms for lactating mothers. Biotin is found in various foods. Still, some foods contain higher amounts of biotin, and these are organ meats (liver, kidney), egg yolks, cheese, yeast, legumes, leafy greens, mushrooms, nuts, and cauliflower. If you are not getting enough biotin for your diet, you consider taking biotin supplementation. These supplements are used in deficiency and also to treat various conditions such as hepatitis, brittle nails, and peripheral neuropathy.
Why Getting Biotin Through an IV is Beneficial
Getting IV biotin is recommended for the quick response and normalizing levels of biotin. Infusions that contain biotin are used to get healthy nails, skin, and hair, and people are using them for their benefit.
