1. food containing vitamin B7 (biotin)
There are numerous natural sources of biotin that can be incorporated into the daily diet.
Vitamin B7 is present in both animal and vegetable foods. A healthy and balanced diet can generally cover the daily requirement of biotin.
Biotin content in microgram/100g
- bovine liver: approximately 100 µg
- liver of pigs: approximately 30 µg
- Herring: approximately 9 µg
- Trout: about 8 µg
- oat flakes: about 20 µg
- Brie: about 5 µg
- whole milk: approx. 4 µg
- Peanuts: approx. 34 µg
- Walnuts: approx. 20 µg
- Bananas: approx. 5 µg
- Tomatoes: approximately 3 µg
- eggs: about 24 µg
2. what is the daily requirement of biotin?
The German Society for Nutrition (DGE) recommends a daily intake of approx. 30-60 µg biotin for adults. The daily intake of biotin for an adult corresponds to about 100 g peanuts. For children the value is between 15-30 µg. In certain life situations, such as pregnancy, more biotin is needed.
3. biotin strengthens hair growth and nails
Weakened nails are often recognized by the fact that they begin to become brittle and split. The nail plate is very susceptible to cracks and small injuries. It is estimated that about 20% of the population suffer from brittle nails. The intake of biotin in the form of food supplements can be very helpful in this case. Biotin strengthens brittle nails and can improve their condition in the long term. Biotin not only has a positive effect on nail growth, but also has a positive effect on hair growth. A lack of biotin can lead to hair loss, brittle hair and split ends. Taking biotin in the form of food supplements strengthens the hair and accelerates hair growth. The hair not only becomes stronger, but also healthier in the long term.
4. further fields of activity of biotin
Biotin plays an important role:
