8 Foods Rich in Biotin (B7)

ByBeWellBuzz

Biotin (B7) is important for the processing of sugars, fats and amino acids. It is also known as the “hair vitamin” and is beneficial for hair growth. There is not an official RDA for biotin but research suggests that 30mcg per day is an approriate amount for the average adult.

Eggs are traditionally recognized as a good source of biotin but there is a molecule in egg whites which prevents the absorption of the vitamin from the egg yolk.
