What is Vitamin H?
Vitamin H, better known as Biotin, is an essential water-soluble B-vitamin crucial for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It plays a key role in converting food into energy and supports the health of the skin, hair, and nervous system.
Why should you have Vitamin H tested?
Testing Vitamin H (Biotin) can be useful when you experience symptoms that may indicate a deficiency, such as hair loss, skin rash, or neurological issues like depression or lethargy. It can also be helpful for monitoring the effectiveness of biotin supplementation.
What does it indicate?
The Vitamin H test measures the amount of biotin in your blood and assists in diagnosing biotin deficiency. It can also help assess the overall health of your metabolism and nervous system.
What does a high Vitamin H level mean?
A high level of Vitamin H is rare because the body does not store much biotin; excess biotin is usually excreted via urine. However, if high levels are detected, this may indicate excessive intake of biotin through supplements.
What does a low Vitamin H level mean?
A low level of Vitamin H may indicate a deficiency, which can lead to hair loss, skin rash, brittle nails, neurological issues, and even metabolic problems. A deficiency is often the result of insufficient intake through diet or problems with biotin absorption.
