Solaray Sublingual Lozenge BIOTIN 1000 MCG
Biotin is one of eight essential vitamins that comprise the B-complex. Biotin plays an important role in energy metabolism, acting as a coenzyme in chemical reactions that produce energy. Biotin functions in this process as a carrier of carbon dioxide. The process by which energy is created in the body is known as the TCA cycle. As a coenzyme, biotin is instrumental in keeping the TCA cycle going. In addition, biotin is a key player in fat synthesis, amino acid metabolism and the creation of glycogen, the bodys short-term energy supply that is stored in muscle. Since biotin is essential in converting carbohydrates, fats and proteins to energy, it may be a useful aid to weight loss. Biotin may also be of benefit to diabetics because it is able to lower blood sugar levels and metabolize carbohydrates. Further, having enough biotin in the diet has been associated with the ability to maintain shiny, healthy hair, and it may also help hair keep its color longer.
