What is biotin and what does it do – Look more beautiful naturally!
In my quest to find those fountain of youth supplements and nutrition, I came across Biotin. So what is biotin and what does it do? Biotin is a very popular supplement that nutritionally supports your skin, your hair and your nails, from the inside out! Not only that, but Biotin also is critical to your healthy metabolism. It plays a key role in converting carbs and fats from food into energy for the body.
Biotin is extracted from Sesbania which is a plant grown in south Asia. It is also known as Vitamin H. Here are just some of the many benefits of this amazing Vitamin:
Beautiful, healthy hair
You can find Biotin in many of the products out there for hair like shampoos and conditioners. These are great for your hair, but what is even better for your hair is to consume Biotin in your diet rather than externally to your hair. Biotin will increase your hair follicle bulb size thereby making it appear much fuller. Sometimes as we age, the growth of our hair slows down. Waiting for it to grow in can feel like forever! When you take Biotin, you receive all of these amazing benefits in a fast and efficient way!
You can read more about Biotin and the benefits to your hair in this article here:
BIOTIN HAIR GROWTH – DOES TAKING BIOTIN REALLY WORK?
Longer, fuller eyelashes
Biotin will make your lashes appear longer and fuller by increasing the hair follicle bulb size. Why glue false lashes to yourself, causing damage to your hair follicles when you can take a supplement that will help your own lashes naturally. Beautiful, long, thick lashes will enhance the beauty of your eyes!
Stronger nails
When your nails are weak, they tend to crack, split in their fragile brittle state. This can be caused by dehydration of the protein keratin. Biotin can actually support your body to maintain healthy, strong nails it serves as a coenzyme support for protein synthesis.
That’s a mouthful, but what it means to you is your nails will be more beautiful and much stronger and thicker.

Embryos need Biotin
All pregnant women need to take Biotin daily because their infant in utero needs Biotin to grow and develop properly and fully.
Biotin supports DNA formation as well as tissue and muscle growth.
Check with your doctor because most prenatal vitamins contain Biotin.
Glowing, youthful skin
Biotin fights dryness of your skin which supports that youthful glow of radiant skin. Biotin aids in your body’s fight against that dry cracking skin! Biotin addresses these skin problems at the cellular level. Experience the difference it can make in the appearance of the skin on your hands and your face.
Maintains healthy metabolism
Biotin supports several metabolic functions of your body by converting glucose from your food into usable energy.
Biotin also assists the body to use amino acids from protein. A better metabolism means you burn more calories, which can help you lose unwanted pounds. Now there’s a benefit for all of us who struggle with our weight!
Conclusion
Did you know that 20% of the population have reported having brittle nails. This is because biotin is water-soluble. Your body is unable to store biotin, and so any excess that your body doesn’t immediately need will be excreted through your urine. Therefore, it is critical that you supplement your biotin daily to maintain these health-promoting benefits to your hair, skin and nails.

Hi and what a great vitamin to know about. I really do need to start looking after myself and what I put in my body a lot better than I am now, not getting any younger lol. I want to see my kids grow up, and I think I will come back and check the rest of your content and new articles from time to time. Thanks so much for this. Kenny.
This is amazing stuff Barbara! I’ve never heard of vitamin H before but it seems like a no brainer considering all the benefits it provides. I have brittle nails so does this mean I should try biotin? Thanks in advance.
I absolutely love the idea that Biotin works from the inside out. Most of what we see happening on the outside are symptoms of the ills on the inside, so this is absolutely good news. I am more inclined to think that pregnant women should first consult their doctors before ingesting this supplement though. Thanks for some great research and information. I appreciate it.
Pregnant women must always consult with their doctor before making any dietary or supplement changes. Absolutely!!
Wow, I definitely have a brittle nails problem. I’m going to have to try supplementing some biotin! I’m sure my husband will be on board for the hair benefits, too. 😉
Interesting article. I knew about biotin helping with nail growth. As a classical guitar player who takes biotin, I can confirm that it truly works well for me when it comes to getting my nails strong and growing them. My nails grow insanely fast now thanks to biotin.
I didn’t realize the other benefits though – it’s very neat that biotin can also help maintain healthy metabolism. Very interesting!
Thanks for sharing,
Matthew
Hi Babs,
Thank you for sharing this article.
Biotin is indeed a very useful supplement for hair, skin and nails and actually works. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who see there is a need for it.
Best wishes
I’m really into looking for different ways that can improve the health of your hair, and it’s a wonderful thing that biotin actually helps with this. I didn’t exactly know how it did this, but this article really explains that. Also, I never knew that it helps with having stronger nails-honestly, that’s really good to know, because I for sure know that weak nails are not the most exciting stuff. Thanks for sharing this lovely post.
I have always heard that biotin is good for hair growth and I have tested it out over the years. It’s probably been nicknamed for hair growth, but I didn’t know it benefits your nails, skin, and healthy metabolism.
I know you mentioned to use it as a supplement (orally). Thank you for great information as always. I appreciate all your hard work and dedication to getting us great info!
Wow, I never realised that Biotin helped our bodies in so many ways.
I am nearing 50 and have noticed my has started thinning out near the bottom.
My hair is sort of long but then I have this issue.
I new Biotin was good for our skin but also for our metabolism too?
Thank you for this very useful information. I will definitely be trying this.
I need all the help I can get as I am getting older.
This sounds like a really great product!
I have such brittle nails, mostly from the chemicals I use at work every day, but I think this could help a little with it anyway. They say it’s what you put in your body that is reflected on your skin, hair, and nails. And all of mine are about as dry as they can get. I am not much of a girly girl, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about my skin.
I have used so many topicals, such as, lotions, afer shower oils, and my skin is always dry here in Colorado. I can vacation to Arizona and my skin feel like it has more moisture, and that’s in the desert hahaha
Thank you for writing this article, I am going to be checking this out some more.

Oh my, I cant wait to show this site to my wife. She is always looking for better stuff to make her feel better. She has had a lot of bad luck the last few years with cancer and such. Now she just wants to be her old self again. I think she is beautiful but she is always looking for that small thing that’s going to help her look and feel better. Thank you for this. I hope you realize for some people products like this are a huge blessing.
God bless you guys, I will keep her in my prayers. Please look around the site. Many of the products, and ones I am testing now, will help reduce pain. That is going to be a main focus for me because I do have a lot of readers contact me talking about pain hindering their ability to live a youthful lifestyle.
Hi again !I didn’t know this supplement exist until i saw your post.Do you think that consuming natural food itself able to meet the nutrition requirement of our body particular on vitamin H?I think that different people would have different needs of nutrition vary on the person’s lifestyle.What age group do you suggest this supplement to?Do you think men should take this supplement as well?
I do not believe that we can truly get all the nutrients our body needs on a daily basis strictly through our diet. I do recommend multi-vitamins, as well as others which I do discuss throughout this website.
This is the second or third time I have visited your site and I continue to be amazed at the content you provide. At first I thought I had never heard of Biotin but then I remembered seeing it on a bottle of hair shampoo. It’s amazing what a vitamin will do for your health. I suffer from a few of the ailments you mention especially brittle nails.I thank you for providing a remedy.
Yes, you are very welcome. I hope you find the help you need.
Amazing! Biotin is one of those super natural beneficial vitamins.
I have to say this is something new to me, and I’m a great lover of vitamins and other natural body healthy supplements.
Now you got me curious, I will have to order this and return here with my take on it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
You know I’ve seen a lot of talk about Biotin lately but I never knew exactly what it was. Thanks for clarifying and for explaining what it is and how it’s beneficial.
I see Biotin mentioned many times in conjunction with Organic Virgin Coconut Oil in a supplement. I also had no idea that Biotin had such a positive effect on your metabolism. I’m interested in getting some to try..thanks for sharing an awesome health supplement!
Before reading this article I had no clue what Biotin was and what is it useful for. After reading this through the whole article I learned that Biotin is an essential nutrient or ingredient that most of the hair based products have and also I’m surprised that biotin helps with growing nails and big eye lashes.
Thank you so much for sharing about Biotin.
This is exactly what I was looking for. A biotine water enhancer that we can use every day.
We live in a rather dry and hot region and the choice of diet is also quite limited. My wife has some problems with her hair and nails and asked me to research the net for possible solutions.
I came up to biotine but never found a product that I can easily apply so that the whole family can benefit. We always have a cooler with fresh water from which we drink all day. This pure natural biotine extract can be used by all of us by just dripping some drops into the tank in the morning.
That’s super exciting! Definitely give it a try. You’ll love it! – Babs
