Intake recommendations for biotin and other nutrients are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine [ 1]. DRI is the general term for a set of reference values used for planning and assessing nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and sex, include the following: Together with other B vitamins, biotin also supports normal psychological and nervous system function 7 by helping to maintain neurons in the brain. Signs of biotin deficiency include skin rashes, hair loss, and brittle nails [ 10, 13]. Therefore, biotin supplements are often promoted for hair, skin, and nail health [ 16, 23, 24]. However, these claims are supported, at best, by only a few case reports and small studies. Processing nutrients from food –biotin supports the enzymes responsible for breaking down the fats, proteins and carbs from our food.

Researchers have also noted that certain hair loss conditions like alopecia can resolve spontaneously without treatment, so it is not clear that biotin supplements specifically caused the regrowth. [2] Biotin, a B vitamin, is an essential nutrient that is naturally present in some foods and available as a dietary supplement. This water-soluble vitamin is a cofactor for five carboxylases (propionyl-CoA carboxylase, pyruvate carboxylase, methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase [MCC], acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, and acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2) that catalyze critical steps in the metabolism of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids [ 1-5]. Biotin also plays key roles in histone modifications, gene regulation (by modifying the activity of transcription factors), and cell signaling [ 3].

Biotin is likely effective in alternative medicine as an aid in treating or preventing low levels of biotin. Low levels of biotin can be caused by malnutrition, rapid weight loss, long-term tube feeding, and other medical conditions.Most people can take biotin supplements without experiencing any side effects.
