Biotin – This vitamin is found again in quite a lot of foods, such as liver, soybeans, and egg yolk, cereal, legumes, nuts as well. Biotin needs magnesium in order to enter the cell and function, (there are enzymes that are depended on biotin to function and therefore work in making energy. Biotin is used in the Krebs cycle (energy production), synthesis of fatty acid and the functions of other amino acids and protein in the body. Deficiency – causes depression, hallucinations, muscle pain, anorexia, nausea, alopecia, hair loss, and scaly dermatitis. For sports people who ingest raw eggs in a great amount for their protein can develop biotin deficiency due to impaired biotin absorption. Also people who have gastrointestinal disorder and low stomach acid and people taking anti-convulsant drugs can be in danger of low biotin, as well as with people that drink too much alcohol and are on sulphonamide therapy.
