Description
"Vitamin B7" is a supplement sourced from biotin, a key factor in fatty acid metabolism, naturally present in eggs, nuts, and leafy greens. It regulates macronutrient conversion, assisting enzymatic reactions that break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Biotin also influences keratin structure, contributing to hair resilience, skin elasticity, and nail strength. Additionally, it plays a role in gene expression, supporting cellular replication and function. Widely included in dietary regimens, Vitamin B7 remains an essential part of balanced nutrition.

When To Take It
Biotin can be taken at any time, though it is often recommended to take it in the morning to support energy metabolism and nutrient absorption throughout the day.
Synergists and Antagonists
Vitamin B7 (biotin) synergizes with vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, lysine, and alpha lipoic acid (ALC), enhancing energy production, skin integrity, and hair health. It is antagonized by avidin, a protein in raw egg whites, which binds biotin and inhibits its absorption.
