Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It plays an important role in maintaining the health of the skin, hair, and nails.

Biotin is available as a dietary supplement and is commonly used to treat or prevent biotin deficiencies, which can occur in rare cases such as malnutrition or certain genetic conditions. It is also included in many cosmetic products for hair and skin care.

Side effects of biotin supplements are rare, as it is considered safe even at high doses. However, in isolated cases, allergic reactions or mild gastrointestinal disturbances may occur.

Biotin is considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it is recommended that women consult a doctor before taking supplements. Patients should inform their doctor about biotin use, as it may interfere with certain laboratory tests.
