1. It plays a key role in nutrient metabolism. D-Biotin is essential in the body's energy production process. For example, some enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins must be involved in biotin in order to function properly. Biotin plays a role in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, amino acid decomposition and other metabolic activities.
2. D-Biotin promotes hair growth, and a deficiency of biotin may lead to hair loss.
3. Biotin is important during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A significant deficiency of biotin may lead to birth defects in newborns.
4. Biotin can lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
5. Biotin has excellent cosmetic effects, can keep skin white, nails smooth and so on. The discovery also opens up a new pharmaceutical use for biotin products.
6. Biotin is used as a drug for the treatment of arteriosclerosis, stroke, lipid metabolism disorders, hypertension, coronary heart disease and blood circulation disorders.
