COME RICONOSCERE UNA CARENZA DI BIOTINA

Sintomi e segnali da non sottovalutare

Although biotin deficiency is not a well-known phenomenon, this certainly does not mean that it is uncommon! On the contrary, it is estimated that about 5% of the entire world population is deficient in this crucial vitamin. But why is it so important? It can have significant repercussions on the health of the hair, skin, nails, and even the nervous system, so recognizing its symptoms early is critical to preventing complications.

Ma che cos’è la biotina?

Biotin, also called vitamin H or vitamin B8, contributes to the formation of antibodies and strengthens skin and hair through the synthesis of keratin, a protein crucial to the hair fiber . In addition, this vitamin contributes to improved hydration and elasticity of the epidermis and, most importantly, is able to prevent inflammation, hindering the occurrence of acne, alopecia and other dermatological conditions of an inflammatory nature.

Sintomi Comuni della Carenza di Biotina

Biotin deficiency can manifest itself through a number of signs involving different aspects of health. First of all, hair may become brittle and prone to falling out; skin may show red, scaly rashes, especially around the eyes, nose and mouth. But that’s not all!
Nails are also extremely susceptible to biotin deficiency and may weaken over time, breaking and chipping more easily.
Neurologically, on the other hand, symptoms such as depression, lethargy, hallucinations, and a tingling sensation in the extremities may emerge. In cases of deficiency, moreover, gastrointestinal complaints, such as nausea, and a general feeling of fatigue may occur.

Cause della Carenza di Biotina

In most cases, biotin deficiency can result from.

Excessive consumption of raw egg whites: the avidin in raw egg whites binds to biotin, preventing its absorption and thus creating a deficiency.
Genetic disorders: some inherited conditions, such as biotinidase deficiency, may interfere with biotin metabolism.
Prolonged use of antibiotics: can alter gut flora, reducing the synthesis of biotin and other useful nutrients for the body
Malnutrition or unbalanced diets: a diet low in foods containing biotin can lead to more or less severe deficiencies

Ma, quindi, come è possibile prevenirla

Recognizing the signs of a biotin deficiency is essential to intervene early and maintain overall well-being. As a deficiency is often related to causes that are not always visible, in the early stages, it is always recommended to do tests to ascertain.

Once we have ascertained the actual deficiency, to prevent it from worsening over time or causing damage to our bodies, it is advisable to supplement it adequately through diet, either by including biotin-rich foods such as cooked eggs, nuts, whole grains, and certain types of fish in the diet, or through supplementation via specific products such as, for example, SeboEvo: the first pure Biotin supplement formulated in a sublingual spray.
SeboEvo Spray provides therapeutic flexibility, rapidity, and maximum bioavailability of Biotin in contrast to alternatives on the market, all of which are formulated in gastrointestinal absorption tablets. In fact, due to its being a sublingual absorption spray, Seboevo is also and especially indicated in those cases where intestinal malabsorption is present (very common in Biotin deficiency sufferers).
