Biotin, because well-tended skin, hair and nails are our business card

Biotin is one of the water-soluble B-vitamins. The special feature of this vitamin is, that it can be formed in small amounts by the intestinal bacteria and synthesised after their utilisation. It still is necessary to supply the body with biotin through food or, if needed, in the form of dietary supplements.

The B vitamin is involved in numerous metabolic processes, but primarily in the metabolism of fat, carbohydrates and protein. In the carbohydrate metabolism biotin promotes the transformation of carbohydrates into energy.
As a coenzyme biotin supports the cell regeneration and the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, mucous membranes and fingernails. Because of its positive effect on the creatine structure, it is colloquially called beauty vitamin.

People who are on a diet, have lots of stress or a high nicotine and alcohol consumption, should make sure they are sufficiently supplied with biotin. Pregnant women, breast-feeding women, elderly people and athletes have also an increased requirement.

Biotin contributes to:

• a normal energy metabolism
• a normal function of the nervous system
• a normal metabolism of the macronutrients
• a normal mental function
• the maintenance of normal hair
• the maintenance of normal mucous membranes
• the maintenance of normal skin
• pure substance
