Eternex Super Biotin® is a water-soluble member of the B-complex group of vitamins, also known as vitamin B7. Although there are eight different forms of biotin, only one, D-biotin, occurs naturally and has full vitamin activity.
Many foods contain biotin, but most have only trace amounts. It is difficult to obtain enough biotin from the diet. This vitamin is found in egg yolks, liver, brewer's yeast, unpolished rice, nuts, salt water fish, and milk. The Eternex Super Biotin® coenzymes participate in the metabolism of fat. Biotin is needed for fat production and in the synthesis of fatty acids. It also helps incorporate amino acids into protein and facilitates the synthesis of the pyrimidines, part of nucleic acids, and therefore helps the formation of DNA and RNA.

Converting foods to fat
Eternex Super Biotin® is often used for problems such as dermatitis or eczema, especially in infants, most often with appropriate intake of other B vitamins, such as riboflavin, niacin, and pyridoxine, and vitamin A. It has also been used to treat muscle pains, though skin and hair are the main focus of biotin supplementation. There is no known toxicity with biotin, even in high amounts. Excesses are easily eliminated in the urine. Deficiency symptoms are also uncommon; human biotin deficiency is extremely rare since it is manufactured in the intestines and is present in many foods. A common use of biotin is to help normalize fat metabolism and utilization in weight reduction programs and to help reduce blood sugar in diabetic patients, with a dosage of between 200-400 mcg. per day. Eternex Super Biotin® has also been in wide use to prevent or slow the progression of graying hair or baldness. Eternex Super Biotin® contains readily absorbed D-Biotin and has been shown to combat hair loss and restore hair growth. |
