Description
Biotin is a water-soluble B-group vitamin, variously designated vitamin B7 or vitamin H, and functions as a coenzyme in carboxylation reactions in fatty acid, amino acid and glucose metabolism. In consumer products it is most visible in hair, skin and nail formulations, and it is a standard component of multivitamin preparations, sports nutrition, infant nutrition and animal feed. Because it is active at microgram levels, it is nearly always supplied or used as a dilution on a carrier to achieve accurate and uniform dosing in a blend. The material is a white crystalline powder, sparingly soluble in water and stable under normal storage.
