What is biotin? An essential vitamin that forms part of the vitamin B family, the word biotin is derived from the Greek word ‘biotos’, meaning ’life’ or ‘sustenance’. Which is fitting as biotin has long been associated with beauty and the vital role it plays in the growth and repair of your hair and skin. Biotin is also important in the way our body breaks down food, supporting macronutrient and energy-yielding metabolism. Finally, it also supports normal psychological function and the nervous system.
