Biotin is stored in the liver and is readily produced by the intestinal bacteria of
the large intestine. Biotin plays a role in the body in healthy blood sugar profi le,
sweat gland function, and is essential for the normal growth and development
of the bone marrow, muscle, nerve, hair, skin and nail cells. It is also required for
production of energy from foods and the manufacture of prostaglandins from
essential fatty acids. Prostaglandins are hormone-like compounds which help to
regulate many bodily functions and intracellular activity, including skin condition
and cardiovascular, nervous and reproductive function. A healthy natural balance
of intestinal bacteria is important for the production of biotin in the body, factors
that may disrupt this balance include poor diet, use of drugs such as antibiotics
and contraceptives, excess alcohol and stress.enst
