BIOTIN
SUPPLIER: ALLERGY RESEARCH GROUP (ARG)
ARG70350 Biotin 5000mcg 60C 13.80
DETAILS:
Biotin is an essential coenzyme for a variety
of carboxylation reactions, and is involved in
the metabolism of fats, sugar and amino acids.
Specifically, the utilization of glucose for
energy, the breakdown and utilization of fatty
acids in energy production, and the removal of
the amine group in amino acid metabolism,
thereby assisting amino acids in being synthe-
sized into protein as well as the formation of
DNA and RNA. As early as 1940, biotin was be-
ing researched for its effectiveness in pro-
moting healthy hair and nails.

PEC00680 Biotin 8mg 120V 14.30
DETAILS:
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 ß-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 revelaed that biotin promotes
nerve cell health. In addition, a double blind
study reported that biotin supplementation may
promote healthy lipid metabolism.
Furthermore, 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
modulates the 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.
