Biotin is a substance, a type of water soluble vitamin B known also as ‘hair growth vitamin’. Some experts call it vitamin B7, some use the name vitamin H, and some just say coenzyme R. No matter how it is named, bioting belongs to the list of the most important and vital vitamins which is especially essential for normal growth and development of our hair as well as nails and skin. It is highly required by our body to provide its normal function, along with such important nutrients and vitamins as vitamin C, vitamin D, folic acid, pantothenic acid, and many others. We can receive biotin from such natural sources as dairy products, nuts, legumes, beans, whole grains, seafood, chicken, and others. However, due to numerous factors (including using genetically modified foods, using low quality foods, bad eating habits, etc.), pretty many people around us experience biotin deficiency which can have quite serious negative effects.

Moreover, as some studies have shown, this condition can be caused not only due to a lack of high quality natural sources of biotin. Some people who consume good amounts of organic foods or possibly use biotin supplements to support their health may still have biotin deficiency and display its symptoms. This situation is very common for those people who have serious metabolism imbalances and whose body can not work fine for absorbing and metabolizing biotin or other similar nutrients. Such condition is pretty common nowadays, and those of us who are sure in their proper biotin consumption but still suffering from biotin deficiency symptoms should not delay with seeing their health care specialist and finding an effective solution for the problem. Fortunately, nowadays a number of very effective tests is available to detect the condition and make sure that the symptoms are caused exactly by biotin deficiency. Keep in mind, if the condition persists, the symptoms tend to go more and more severe, and in the end of the ends they will start affecting your life with something much more terrible than just brittle hair or nails.

Such symptoms as dry skin and dry hair are considered the first signs of biotin deficiency. Sometimes people also experience skin rashes, inflammation like seborrhetic dermatitis, psoriasis, dandruff, and others. In many cases, these symptoms very often are accompanied with very brittle hair and quite fast hair loss, regardless whether a man or a women is suffering from the condition. Further symptoms include quite severe muscle pains, cramps, nerve pains, tiresome, and a chronic lack of energy, which mark metabolic imbalances, and also the condition usually is complemented with increased irritability and sensitivity, chronic depression and a lack of positive attitude to life. If you’re having the mentioned symptoms all together, there’s a big probability that you’re suffering from biotin deficiency.
