When people hear "biotin", they usually think of hair and skin. That's part of the story, but vitamin B7 does more than that. It's one of the B vitamins your body uses to get energy from food.
What does biotin do?
Biotin contributes to:
- normal energy-yielding metabolism
- normal macronutrient metabolism
- normal functioning of the nervous system
- normal psychological function
- the maintenance of normal hair
- the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes
How much do you need?
The EU reference intake for adults is 50 µg (micrograms) per day. Most people get enough from a varied diet.
Where do you find it?
- Eggs (cooked)
- Nuts and seeds
- Legumes
- Salmon
- Sweet potato
- Mushrooms
Water-soluble, so keep it coming
B vitamins are water-soluble. Your body doesn't store large amounts, so a regular intake through a varied diet matters, especially if you live an active life.
