Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that supports healthy hair, skin, and nails. It stimulates the differentiation of the epidermis and promotes the production of keratins. These proteins support epithelial cells and play an essential role in maintaining the structure of skin, hair and nails. Clinical studies also indicate that biotin can adjust the cellular arrangement of the nail bed, helping to strengthen the structure of keratins, promote strength and thickness, and reduce splitting. Biotin is also an essential cofactor for many metabolic carboxylation reactions, including carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Recent studies have expanded the metabolic role of biotin, demonstrating that the vitamin maintains healthy gene expression of the many enzymes for which it is a cofactor. For example, biotin can promote the transcription and translation of glucokinase, an enzyme found in the liver and pancreas that participates in the metabolism of glucose to form glycogen.
