Question

Which of the following is called vitamin H?
(A) Biotin
(B) Folic acid
(C) Thiamine
(D) Niacin

Answer 1

Hint: It is a water-soluble vitamin H. This vitamin also helps in the formation of valine and isoleucine which is an amino acid. Also helps in the metabolism of protein fats and carbohydrates(convert glucose). It is part of a complex group of proteins.

Complete step by step solution:
-Vitamin H, known as biotin, is from the B group of vitamins. Food is converted into fuel using vitamin B which is used to produce energy. These B vitamins also help the body metabolize fats and protein. B complex vitamins are needed for healthy skin, hair, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly.
-Our body needs biotin to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Biotin is often used and recommended for strengthening hair and nails, and in many cosmetic products.
-Biotin is an important component of enzymes in the body that break down certain substances like carbohydrates, fats and others.
-All B vitamins, it is water-soluble. Being a water-soluble component, extra biotin will simply pass through your body when you urinate. While most people can handle biotin supplements, some people have reported mild side effects due to B Vitamins like nausea and digestive issues.

Thus the correct option is (A).

Note: Biotin is also known as B7 vitamin. Biotin is also recommended for hair and nail strengthening. Due to its water-soluble properties, it does not store in our body. Bacteria present in our intestine can also make biotin.
