“If you have healthy hair and good skin, everything else will fall into place”

More than once in life, humans are found complaining about either the volume of their hair or the texture of their skin. 

Before you hear the scary knock of the health crisis, we know something that you need to know. 

The range of skin and hair diseases has a direct connection with biotin deficiency irrespective of age and gender. 

Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, Vitamin H or beauty vitamin is a water-soluble vitamin involved in the production of fatty acids which is crucial to maintain the health of your skin, hair and nails.

The food you eat or drink consists of carbohydrates and fats. The presence of biotin is needed to break both these down and turn them into energy. This energy is thus used to build healthy skin and shiny hair. 

This blog is our small attempt to guide you through the symptoms and causes of biotin deficiency. Hold your guards because the guard of skin and hair is here!

How to get Biotin naturally?

Being a water-soluble vitamin, your body cannot store it. It gets dissolved in water and is carried away to your body tissues. 

Now that you know how crucial biotin is for your body, this fact might be troubling you - Your body does not produce biotin naturally. Though there exists a bacteria in your gut that can produce biotin, it is able to do it in minute quantities. Hence, this raises the need to search for biotin outside. 

Biotin comes from a variety of sources. Let us look at them one by one.
