About Biotin:

　   Biotin is widely distributed in most foods but at very low levels compared to other water-soluble vitamins. It is found in free and protein-bound forms in foods. Its richest sources are yeast, liver and kidney. Egg yolk, soybeans, nuts and cereals are also good sources. 100 g of liver contains approximately 100 ?g biotin, whereas most other meats, vegetables and fruits only contain approximately 1 ?g biotin /100 g. In animal experiments, biotin bioavailability has been shown to vary considerably (5%-62%), and in cereals it appears to be lower.

       Biotin is a colorless, water-soluble member of the B-complex group of vitamins. Although biotin was discovered already in 1901 as a special growth factor for yeast, it took nearly forty years of research to establish biotin as a vitamin. Due to its beneficial effects for hair, skin and nails, biotin is also known as the “beauty vitamin”。 There are eight different forms of biotin, but only one of them – D-biotin – occurs naturally and has full vitamin activity. Biotin can only be synthesised by bacteria, moulds, yeasts, algae, and by certain plant species.
