Biotin and the Vegan Diet

Biotin, or vitamin B7, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that supports various bodily functions, primarily related to the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids. It is vital for maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails, and is often included in dietary supplements for these purposes. Biotin is naturally found in various foods, including eggs, nuts, and certain vegetables. It can also be synthetically produced for use in supplements and fortified foods.
