Biotin Benefits.wmv

Biotin is a B-complex vitamin and is sometimes referred to as vitamin H or vitamin B7.

Biotin Benefits
•Helps body convert food into energy.
•Vital with the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins (which hair and skin is made from).
•Helps with cell growth (cell turnover rate....removal of dead skin cells, growth of new cells).
•Accurate fat production for healthier skin.
•Thickens hair cuticle.

Deficiency in Biotin
•inflamed skin
•hair loss
•fragile nails
•depression
•loss of appetite
•muscle pain
•high cholesterol
•in some cases insomnia

BIOTIN SOURCES IN FOOD: cooked egg yolk, sardines, oats, liver, brown rice, sunflower seeds, bananas, carrots, mushrooms, onions, cabbage, strawberries, milk.

FACT: It's RARE for people to have a B7 deficiency unless you drink A LOT of alcohol. Heavy alcohol consumption inhibits absorption of BIOTIN AND OTHER B VITAMINS.

SUGGESTION: You must take the supplement for a few months before noticing a substantial difference, although some begin noticing a difference after a few weeks...

READ AND REMEMBER: The body forms Antioxidants chemically in the body and makes enzymes to attack free radicals, which are harmful to the body! YOU have a choice to support the BAD FREE RADICALS (which can overpower the formation of antioxidants by EATING POORLY) or GOOD ANTIOXIDANTS (which stops harmful oxidation by INCORPORATING FOODS/VITAMINS THAT CONTAIN VITAMINS: A, D, E, & K and also C)..... Why is this important? FREE RADICALS harm HAIR, SKIN & NAILS

SUGGESTION: If you are a type A blood type, take a higher dosage of B-Supplements. People with type A blood don't fully absorb B vitamins.

IN MY OPINION: Washing your hair with a product containing BIOTIN is questionable. Biotin is not easily absorbed outwardly through the skin...reaping full benefits involves consumption (internally with supplements or foods)

Do it make ur hair sheds?

Same applies for other vitamins too because people don't realize how much of these nutrients are provided in everyday foods. TOO much calcium can lead to kidney stones and calcium deposits in your arteries bc an excess of calcium prevents absorption of other nutrients necessary for bone health. TOO much Vitamin A can cause liver problems, diminished bone density, and birth defects. TOO much Iron may be a risk factor for heart disease bc it competes with Copper for absorption in the body.

I hope everyone knows that too much of a good thing can still be bad. According to the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for the intake of biotin, an adult’s daily dosage should be around 20-30 micrograms, where else young children should limit their intake between 5-12 micrograms a day.

This video was right on time! I have heard so much about Biotin and how it helps with hair growth, but I've been taking other vitamins that include Biotin (daily multivitamin, Super B complex, and Nioxin vitamins for hair/skin/nails), so do you think it's necessary to incorporate a Biotin supplement or would I probably already be getting enough between the other vitamins I'm taking. Thanks in advance and keep the videos coming!
