Biotin, also known as vitamin H and coenzyme R, is a water-soluble vitamin and member of the B vitamin complex, including B7. It is essential for the synthesis of vitamin C and is indispensable for the normal metabolism of fats and proteins. It is an essential nutrient for maintaining natural growth, development, and normal bodily functions.
Biotin, a member of the B vitamin complex and also known as vitamin H, vitamin B7, and coenzyme R, was discovered in the 1930s during research on yeast growth factor and rhizobium growth and respiration promoting factor. It was discovered from liver and was shown to prevent hair loss and skin damage in rats induced by feeding raw egg protein. Biotin is a member of the water-soluble B vitamin complex. It is found in high concentrations in liver, kidney, yeast, and milk, and is a key player in carbon dioxide fixation. It readily binds to a protein in egg white. Excessive consumption of raw egg white can hinder biotin absorption, leading to biotin deficiency symptoms such as hair loss, weight loss, and dermatitis. Biotin plays a crucial role in biochemical pathways such as fat synthesis and gluconeogenesis.
Biotin is a lifesaver for those facing baldness. It not only effectively prevents hair loss and balding, but also helps prevent premature graying, a common condition among modern people. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health.
1.Energy metabolism: Helps the body convert ingested carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy (ATP) for use.
2.Maintains skin health: Participates in the synthesis of fatty acids, which are essential for the health and normal function of skin cells.
3.Promotes hair and nail growth: It is one of the key nutrients involved in the synthesis of keratin, the primary protein that makes up hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin.
4.Supports the nervous system: Participates in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and signaling molecules important for nervous system function.
5.Regulates gene expression: It also plays a role in cell signaling and gene expression.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
