Q. How can I get more vitamin H?

Answer

Brewer's yeast cooked eggs sardines and nuts (almonds peanuts pecans walnuts) nut butters soybeans particularly egg yolk other whole grains cauliflower bananas legumes (beans blackeye peas) and mushrooms are all good sources of biotin (Vitamin H). Avidin a protein found in raw egg whites blocks biotin absorption in the body. Biotin is essential for the breakdown of dietary substrates like sugars and lipids as well as protein-building components like amino acids. Numerous hair and skin care products include biotin because of its reputation for strengthening hair and nails. Biotin has been used to treat alopecia areata in both children and adults and it has been coupled with zinc and topical clobetasol propionate with success.
