Another great video about some of the factors that may cause a biotin deficiency in our body.
A reminder of how all the body works together as an integrated whole. It is so important to look at the body as a whole organism, where all parts interact to function maximally.
The important points from this video are as follows:
- You need stomach acid to absorb biotin;
- Biotin is absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine;
- The enzyme Biotinidase, which is secreted by the pancreas, helps with absorption;
- Problems with the bowel and pancreas, such as celiac disease and pancreatitis, may contribute to a deficiency.
