The water-soluble vitamin B7, biotin, contributes to cellular metabolism and energy production. It is part of the B complex.

Vitamin H was originally called Biotin, where "H" stood for Haar und Haut, German words for hair and skin. Because skin rash and thinning hair were some of the symptoms of biotin deficiency that led to its eventual discovery.

Some people have difficulty maintaining adequate levels of biotin due to factors such as diet, lifestyle, and genetics. Therefore, certain subsets of the population have more difficulty maintaining adequate levels of biotin.

As an essential cofactor, biotin is involved in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, cell growth, and protein synthesis.*
