B7 Vitamin Biotin
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is indispensable for energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, glycogen synthesis, and lipid synthesis. A higher biotin intake may also increase blood cholesterol levels in some individuals.
The following foods contain biotin:
Peanuts Cauliflower Liver Egg Yolks Chicken Mushrooms
Biotin deficiency in yeast
Biotin deficiency is extremely uncommon due to the vitamin’s abundance in numerous foods and low daily requirement. Several months of excessive consumption of fresh egg whites by bodybuilders can result in biotin deficiency, as a protein in the egg whites inhibits biotin absorption.
