Give your skin and hair the anti-aging benefits of Biotin.
Biotin, vitamin B7, is part of the B-complex vitamins. It's also sometimes referred to as vitamin H. Biotin doesn't get a lot of press but the anti-aging benefits of biotin really should be breaking news. While biotin deficiencies are rare, the symptoms of insufficient biotin will be recognized by many.
Signs of Insufficient Biotin in the Diet
- Acne
- Brittle nails
- Dermatitis
- Depression
- Dry skin
- Dull, brittle hair
- Extreme fatigue
- Fungal infections
- Hair loss
- High cholesterol
- Muscle cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Numbness and tingling in the arms and legs
- Poor appetite
- Premature graying hair
All B vitamins are water soluble, meaning they aren't stored in the body and need to constantly be replenished. Occasionally taking a B vitamin or rarely eating biotin-rich foods, simply isn't enough to keep
you in top anti-aging condition.
Did You Eat Your Biotin Today
Biotin is available in many foods and is typically added to packaged foods (where the processing caused it to become depleted). It doesn't fare well if subjected to cooking or the freezer. Also eating raw egg whites, alcohol consumption, pregnancy and some medications may interfere with biotin absorption or cause depletion. How many of these biotin rich foods, in their natural state, did you eat today?
- Bananas
- Brewer's yeast
- Carrots
- Cauliflower
- Legumes
- Mushrooms
- Peanut butter
- Soy
- Whole grain cereals
Biotin benefits extend to how we process fuel. If you're having a hard time digesting carbohydrates, fats or proteins, biotin levels may be low. Biotin's ability to burn energy and stabilize blood sugar levels can expedite weight loss and will benefit diabetics.
Biotin's anti-aging benefits are readily apparent in the skin and hair where it increases elasticity. While biotin will increase fat metabolism in the body, it will also assist with fat production in the skin cells making your skin appear firmer and more resilient. Your hair will become more pliable and fuller and may even start to grow faster.
Biotin shampoo is especially good for thinning hair.
Prescribed as a prenatal vitamin, pregnant women have long been
fans of biotin to speed hair growth (although there is no proof of
this, don't argue with a pregnant woman).
B vitamins work best when they are taken as the complete complex. However, if you identify with the signs of biotin insufficiency, a separate biotin supplement of 25-1000mcg in conjunction with a B-complex, can give you greater anti-aging benefits.
