Biopecia not only assists in various metabolic chemical conversions, but also helps with the transfer of carbon dioxide. Biopecia is also helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. Biopecia is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails. Consequenty, it is found in many cosmetic and health products for the hair and skin. Biopecia deficiency is a rare nutritional disorder caused by a deficiency of biotin. Initial symptoms of biotin deficiency include: Dry skin, Seborrheic dermatitis, Fungal infections, rashes including erythematous periorofacial macular rash, fine and brittle hair, and hair loss or total alopecia. If left untreated, neurological symptoms can develop, including mild depression, which may progress to profound lassitude and, eventually, to somnolence; changes in mental status, generalized muscular pains (myalgias), hyperesthesias and paresthesias. The treatment for biotin deficiency is to simply start taking some biotin supplements. A lack of biotin in infants will lead to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis or "cradle cap". Biopecia deficiencies are extremely rare in adults but if it does occur, it will lead to anemia, depression, hair loss, high blood sugar levels, muscle pain, nausea, loss of appetite and inflamed mucous membranes.

How Biopecia works
Biopecia is necessary for the proper functioning of enzymes that transport carboxyl units and fix carbon dioxide, and is required for various metabolic functions, including gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, propionate metabolism, and catabolism of branched-chain amino acids.
Toxicity
Prolonged skin contact may cause irritation.
Food Interaction
- Avoid dietary avidin (a glycoprotein in uncooked egg-whites). Avidin binds with biotin in the gastrointestinal tract preventing biotin absorption. Avidin is denatured by cooking; therefore, cooked egg whites do not reduce biotin absorption.
