The Beauty B-Vitamin\n\nBiotin, also known as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H, is a water-soluble nutrient that is part of the B-vitamin complex. It is most famous for its role in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails, but its functions go much deeper into cellular energy production.\n\n## How BiotinClinical Works\n\nBiotin acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose. This means it helps your body convert the food you eat into the energy you need to power your day. For beauty, biotinClinical is thought to support the production of keratin, a basic protein that makes up your hair, skin, and nails.\n\n## Natural Sources\n\nWhile your body doesn't store biotin, it is found in many common foods:\n- Eggs: Specifically the yolks (ensure they are cooked, as raw egg whites contain a protein that blocks biotin absorption).\n- Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.\n- Legumes: Peanuts and soybeans.\n\n## Supplementing with Biotin\n\nIn our Vitamin Vitality range, we include Biotin in formulations focused on renewal and external vitality. As a water-soluble vitamin, it is best taken daily with food to maintain consistent levels.
