“Vitamin H (biotin) facts”
Some interesting facts about vitamin H (or biotin):
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that it is easily absorbed in the body (as most of the body is made of water and so are most of the foods eaten), but some of it may be lost in cooking.
Biotin is also known as vitamin H.
Biotin is a B vitamin co-factor, which means it is not quite a vitamin, but works with all of the B vitamins to help them perform their activities more effectively.
Biotin helps with the metabolism and usage of the essential fatty acids by helping to create them from the fats eaten in the diet.
Biotin is one of the nutrients which helps the body get rid of its carbon dioxide by sending it to the lungs to be exhaled.
Biotin, along with PABA, folic acid (folate) and vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) seems to help with hair growth and even with preventing hair colour from fading and hair becoming grey. Studies on this have only had positive results when natural supplements were used to return hair to its natural colour and reducing the amount of grey hair.
