How it works
"In humans, biotin helps make possible reactions that break down amino acids, synthesize fatty acids, and make glucose. In other words, biotin helps our bodies use the food we eat to power our cells. Biotin regulates gene expression, including genes involved in metabolism that promote regulation of blood sugar. It also decreases levels of enzymes that stimulate the liver’s glucose production. Beauty aficionados know biotin as a vitamin that, when deficient, affects hair, skin, and nails."
