Biotin
is an essential nutrient that is required for cell growth and for the production
of fatty acids. Biotin is necessary for the metabolism and release of energy
from carbohydrates, proteins and fats and is essential for the proper utilization
of the other B-complex vitamins. Biotin contributes to healthy skin and
hair, and may play a role in preventing hair loss. Biotin is essential
for gluconegenesis and fatty acid synthesis. Diabetics may also benefit
from Biotin. Besides
hair loss, a deficiency of Biotin may also cause eczema, dermatitis, skin
disorders, heart and lung problems, anaemia, fatigue, mental depression,
muscle pain, conjunctivitis, high blood cholesterol, loss of appetite and
nausea. Skin rashes and acidosis can develop in infants.

Biotin is the weapon in our hand. Biotin taken in the amount
of at least 3 Milligram will cut the transformation cycle from the
yeast to the fungus form......Dr. Luc De Shepper

A primary source of
Biotin is the healthy bacteria in the intestinal tract. Because these
are often comprimised by a Candida Albicans overgrowth, candida sufferers
are particularly prone to a Biotin deficiency.From "Candida, The Symptoms,
The Causes, The Cure" by Dr. Luc DeShepper "in order....to avoid
the spreading to the bloodstream, and thus giving the opportunity for the
yeast cells to invade almost all of the organs, the interruption of the
vicious cycle is a must and a priority. The best available product
on the market is the Biotin 5 mg. tablet of GRL".Yamaguchi reported
that extensive mycelial formation of c. albicans when grown in a
medium with a suboptimal concentration of biotin (0-1 ng/ml) as compared
to primarily yeast cell growth in optimal levels of biotin.

from biotin insufficiency."
