B Vitamin - Biotin 8 mg - Pure Encapsulations
Product ID: S-VM-PUEN-B16
Promotes healthy glucose
metabolism and nerve health;
helps support healthy nails
- Biotin is a water-soluble
B vitamin that is an essential
co-factor for a number of
metabolic carboxylation reactions
- Biotin forms a covalent
bond to the following
carboxylase enzymes: pyruvate
carboxylase for glucose
metabolism, acetyl CoA
carboxylase for fatty acid
oxidation, and propionyl-CoA
carboxylase and β-
methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase
for amino acid metabolism
- A clinical study reported
that high dose administration
of biotin helped promote
healthy glucose metabolism
- A number of animal studies
support this claim
- Biotin may also act to
promote transcription and
translation of glucokinase, an
enzyme found in the liver and
pancreas that participates in
the metabolism of glucose to
form glycogen. Studies have
also indicated that biotin is
supportive of nervous system
health and function
- A clinical study revealed
that biotin promotes nerve
cell health
- A double-blind study
reported that biotin
supplementation may promote
healthy lipid metabolism.
- Clinical studies have
indicated that biotin may
adjust the cellular
arrangement of the nail bed,
helping to reinforce the
keratin structure, promote
strength and thickness, and
reduce splitting. Recent
studies have expanded biotin's
metabolic role, claiming that
the vitamin maintains healthy
genetic expression of the many
enzymes for which it is a cofactor
- One study suggested that
this gene modulation is
supportive of healthy immune
system function, stating that
biotin may be involved in the
transcription of some immune cells
