Vitamin B7, also called biotin or vitamin H, is an essential water-soluble vitamin required for various metabolic processes, including fatty acid synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and gluconeogenesis. Biotin serves as a cofactor for carboxylase enzymes involved in these metabolic pathways, contributing to energy production and cellular function. Adequate intake of biotin is essential for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails, as well as normal growth and development. Biotin deficiency may occur in individuals with poor dietary intake, malabsorption syndromes, or certain genetic disorders, leading to symptoms such as dermatitis, alopecia, conjunctivitis, or neurological abnormalities. Diagnosis of biotin deficiency involves clinical assessment, dietary history, and laboratory testing, including measurement of biotin levels in blood or urine samples. Treatment of biotin deficiency involves biotin supplementation to restore normal biotin levels and alleviate symptoms of deficiency.
