I just read that Biotin is good from Metabolism & Energy and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this. I am aware of it benefits for hair and nail health, had not heard about energy before. I am already taking a B12 5000IU every week and was wondering if a Biotin 5000IU once a week would be of any benefits thanks for the info -Deb

Biotin is Important in Metabolism and Energy Production

Biotin assists in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Biotin, as a coenzyme, is involved in energy production. It is one of the agents that converts food into energy by facilitating the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates into glucose, and breaking down of proteins into amino acids.

I take the high dose one I think it is 10,000.  When I take it religiously, my nails grow quicker and my hair dresser says she sees new hair growth.

Thank you for the info but...does anyone think that it helps with your energy level ?  Have you noticed a sluggishness if you don't take the Biotin ?

I take 5000 every day and honestly have not seen an increase in energy. I was advised to take it so that my hair doesn't fall out and it helps your body absorb the protein you are taking in. Hope this helps!
