Biotin is an essential coenzyme for a variety of carboxylation reactions, and is involved in the metabolism of fats, sugars and amino acids. Biotin is crucial for the utilization of glucose for energy, the breakdown and utilization of fatty acids in energy production, and the synthesis of protein from amino acids. Gluten Free! Biotin plays a role in supporting the health of the hair, skin, and nails. Biotin has had many other names, including vitamin B7, vitamin H, and ‘W Factor’.

Biotin was discovered in 1927. The absence of an essential metabolite was detected in experiments, when mice became sickened by a diet containing significant amounts of raw egg white, and were restored when other foods were given, including egg yolk, milk, and bananas. Shortly thereafter, biotin was isolated
and characterized. Fifteen years later, biotin was determined to be an essential nutrient in human nutrition when humans were made deficient in it, again using raw egg white, and then restored with the administration of biotin. Egg white causes biotin deficiency because it contains the protein avidin, which binds avidly
to biotin, preventing absorption. When the egg white is cooked, the avidin is denatured, and it can no longer bind biotin.
