Biotin (sodium)

• Description:

  Biotin (Vitamin B7) sodium is a water-soluble B vitamin and serves as a coenzyme for five carboxylases in humans, involved in the synthesis of fatty acids, isoleucine, and valine, and in gluconeogenesis. Biotin sodium is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids[1][2][3].
