BiotinBiotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, acts as a
coenzyme during the metabolism of protein, fats,
and carbohydrates. Where is it found? Good dietary
sources of biotin include organ meats, oatmeal,
egg yolk, soy, mushrooms, bananas, peanuts, and
brewer’s yeast. Bacteria in the intestine produce
significant amounts of biotin, which is probably
available for absorption and use by the body.
