Biotin is needed for the synthesis of ascorbic acid. Necessary for normal fat and protein metabolism. Biotin (coenzyme R or vitamin H) is a water-soluble, relatively new member of the B vitamin family. Recent evidence suggests that biotin plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism by interacting with the pancreatic hormone insulin. In addition, biotin participates in the production of the so-called glucokinase - a substance that "starts" the metabolism of glucose. Glucokinase is produced in the liver, where biotin is stored. This is especially important for diabetics, in whom the content of glucokinase in the liver is lowered. Biotin also plays a significant role in the synthesis of glycogens - carbohydrates accumulated in the liver and muscles, as well as in the absorption of these reserves and in the so-called gluconeogenesis, during which 16 out of 22 amino acids are converted into glucose. This process is essential for maintaining a stable blood sugar level. Thus, biotin stabilizes blood sugar levels.
