What does it do? Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin,
acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates.
Where is it found? Good dietary sources of biotin
include organ meats, oatmeal, egg yolk, soy, mushrooms, bananas,
peanuts, and brewer’s yeast. Bacteria in the intestine also produce
significant amounts of biotin, but evidence is conflicting as to
whether biotin produced by intestinal bacteria is present at a location
or is in a form that permits significant absorption by the body.1
