My new Vitamin phase :) I have started taking Biotin to help strengthen my hair and nails. This Vitamin is also great for hormone function which I am sure will be beneficial to myself .. Happy Hormones = Happy Life

Biotin, sometimes known as Vitamin H, is part of the B complex group of vitamins, and is essential for converting food to fuel. It helps the body metabolize proteins, fats and glucose.

The benefits of  Biotin helps to strengthen hair and nails ( great for thinning hair and brittle nails) other benefits include : 

Biotin plays a major role in your blood glucose production. Since biotin is heavily involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates within your body, it is largely responsible for keeping your blood sugar at healthy levels. If you suffer from diabetes, you may be given a Biotin supplement as a way to get your blood sugar levels up to properly functional amounts. 

Weight Loss - Biotin is essential for your metabolic process. This vitamin processes nearly every type of food that you ingest, including carbohydrates, protein and fat. When biotin levels are at the proper levels in your body, the food that you take in will be processed quickly. A Biotin supplement may help, since it is sometimes thought to speed up weight loss due to its effects on metabolic levels.

Skin -A biotin deficiency can lead to a variety of skin problems including rashes, acne, psoriasis, dermatitis and overall itchiness. Toxicities will form throughout the nervous system and manifest itself on the skin’s surface.
Also, B vitamins play a key role in the function of the nervous system and do affect hormone function ( so also great to take if you suffer from depression) ❤️BB
