It exists in the liver, egg yolk, milk, yeast and other foods. Biotin and enzymes involved in the body of carbon dioxide fixed and carboxylation process, the body's important metabolic processes such as pyruvate carboxylation transformed into oxaloacetate and acetyl coenzyme A carbonyl become malonyl coenzyme A in sugar and fat metabolism the main biochemical reactions. It is also certain microorganisms growth factor, a trace amount (0.005 μg) to test bacterial growth. For example, Alternaria mold growth requires very small amounts of biotin. Peope need to buy biotin because human body needs of about 100 to 300 micrograms in daily.
