Biotin
A water-soluble B vitamin essential for enzymes involved in fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. It is used to treat or prevent biotin deficiency and is found in many nutritional supplements marketed for hair, skin, and nail health. True deficiency is rare but can occur with prolonged raw egg white consumption or certain inherited metabolic disorders.
