What does BIOTIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A B-vitamin that the body needs in small amounts to help break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins into usable energy.
Biotin belongs to the B-vitamin family and is sometimes labelled vitamin B7 or vitamin H on supplement packaging. The body gets most of its biotin from food such as egg yolk, liver and yeast, and gut bacteria also produce a portion of what a person needs. Because biotin plays a role in keeping hair, skin and nails healthy, it appears heavily in cosmetic supplements, even though a true deficiency is rare on an ordinary diet. Cooking destroys very little biotin, so raw and cooked sources both contribute to daily intake.
