A member asked:
How biotin deficiency cause hair fall , bowl inflamation , muscle pain .please in detail ....thank u?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not proven, however:: While biotin deficiency causes hair loss, it is not proven to cause bowel inflammation or muscle pain. Biotin is necessary for 5 enzymes to properly function- these enzymes are important in glucose, fatty acid and Amino Acid metabolism. See http://lpi.Oregonstate.Edu/infocenter/vitamins/biotin/ for much more detail on the biochemical role of these 5 enzymes.
