Vitamin H (biotin, B7) was discovered as a result of experiments conducted on rats. Rodents were given fresh egg white. This made it possible to provide animals with protein. However, over time, the rats began to fall out strongly, and skin and muscle lesions appeared. After this, the animals began to be given boiled egg yolk. All symptoms gradually disappeared.
It took several decades for specialists to isolate vitamin N. From boiled yolk. It was this substance that restored not only the skin of rodents, but also hair. It is worth noting that biotin, in other
words vitamin B7, is destroyed at sufficiently high temperatures, and also dissolves in water with a high level of pH.
What is this vitamin
The beauty of human nails, skin and hair begins precisely in the intestines. Vitamin H is synthesized by a viable and healthy flora in the body. No cosmetic institution can make a person more attractive if his body does not even have a minimum supply of B7.
Beauty also depends on the health of the liver. It is this body that should have a small supply of biotin - approximately 0.001 g. This indicator should be constant. Thanks to this person, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make your appearance attractive and restore your natural beauty.
What foods do vitamin H contain
Biotin is present in many foods. Most of this substance is in egg yolks. It is also found in products of animal origin: cheese, cow's milk, ham, chicken, beef, pork, bovine heart, in beef and pork liver, as well as kidneys. Vitamin H is also found in canned sardines, flounder and herring.
As for plant products, biotin can be found in whole rye grains, fresh onions, potatoes, melons, bananas, oranges, apples, cauliflower, carrots, green peas, mushrooms, peanuts, wheat flour, rice bran, brown rice, soy beans and tomatoes.
It is worth noting that in vegetables and fruits, vitamin B7 is usually found in a free state. But in meat products - in combination with proteins. These products can become a good source of biotin. However, the substance that a person needs is produced only by intestinal microflora. This can be achieved only by eating properly and observing the rules of a healthy lifestyle.
The human body is able to independently produce the necessary amount of vitamin N. However, this can be achieved only if the intestinal flora is in a normal state and receives all the necessary useful components.
Microflora and Biotin
Arrange a mess and upset the balance in the intestine in minutes. To do this, it is enough to take an antibiotic, eat a fatty and sweet treat, drink 100 grams of alcohol. This is how it is possible to reduce the production of vitamin N. Therefore, those people who often consume alcohol and do not eat properly will age faster than others. The skin of such a person becomes flabby and saggy, and the hair begins to fall out greatly.
Contains vitamin H in foods that are available to everyone. However, the main source of this substance is our body. A colossal amount of all kinds of microorganisms lives in the human intestines . Their total weight is 1 - 1.5 kilograms. They work around the clock, creating impenetrable barriers to various ailments. In other words, all the microorganisms that live in our bodies are a real health factory that can be easily destroyed. However, restoring in the future is much more difficult, and in some cases almost impossible.
Disruption of the microflora often leads to such unpleasant phenomena as excess weight, bad breath, hair loss and skin aging. To cope with problems, many go on a diet. As a result, the microflora of the stomach suffers even more. In this case, a protein diet is very dangerous. In this case, almost all biotin in the body is destroyed. This substance is destroyed by avidin.
Carbohydrate metabolism and vitamin H
Carbohydrate metabolism also depends on biotin, since this substance actively interacts with insulin, and also takes part in the synthesis of other useful components that are responsible specifically for glucose metabolism. And this, as you know, is the most important simple carbohydrate. Very often, vitamin H is prescribed for patients with diabetes mellitus. This is another way to improve glucose metabolism.
Normal carbohydrate metabolism is important for every person, since its violation causes negative consequences. A person begins to get tired, nervous, weaken. Often, a patient with diabetes is deprived of the ability to independently solve even simple tasks.
Appearance and Biotin
For every person who wants to make a positive impression on the people around him, an attractive appearance is important , as well as a healthy breath. In this case, do not take Biotin lightly. Vitamin H contains sulfur. This component always reaches the cells of the hair, skin and nails. Biotin allows you to control fat metabolism, prevent excessive secretion of sebum. In addition, vitamin H prevents the development of seborrhea.
Vitamin H level supplements
As already mentioned, biotin from food is practically not absorbed. Therefore, the special drug Blagomin was created. Vitamin H is part of this product. However, it can only be used from the age of 14.
In addition, the drug has contraindications, including lactation, pregnancy and individual intolerance.
You can buy vitamin H in a pharmacy without much difficulty.
Daily rate of biotin
For a normal healthy person, the daily norm of this substance is 10-30 micrograms. But lactating and pregnant women require from 50 to 120 micrograms of vitamin N.
Lack of biotin and its excess
With a deficiency of vitamin H in a person, hair begins to fall out severely, inflammatory processes can begin not only on the skin, but also on the mucous membranes. In addition, anemia, depression can frolic, poor appetite, muscle pain, impaired sugar levels, insomnia, and nausea will occur. With a lack of biotin, irritability occurs, a feeling of fatigue. A state of drowsiness and apathy may occur.
As for the overabundance of vitamin H, such cases have not occurred even with large doses. Side effects are very rare. Usually it is chest pain, shortness of breath, urticaria, skin rash.
