It promotes healthy nerve tissue, bone marrow and sweat glands. It also relieves seborrheic dermatitis in infants.

Most biotin deficiencies are associated with the consumption of raw egg whites which contain avidin. Avidin binds with biotin to prevent its absorption into the blood. Cooking the egg whites deactivates avidin. Biotin is non-toxic and probably not required in supplement form. Although biotin deficiencies are rare, they can occur when people have malabsorption problems. Some research indicates that male pattern baldness may respond to supplemented biotin, albeit in a very marginal fashion. Biotin is found in cooked egg yolks, salt-water fish, beef and poultry, milk, cheese, soy products and whole grain breads. If athletes are eating raw egg whites, extra biotin must be consumed.
