Biotin (Vitamin H / Coenzyme R, CAS 58-85-5): Core API for Hair, Skin & Nail Health

Biotin, also known as Vitamin H, Coenzyme R, and Vitamin B7, with the CAS number 58-85-5, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through diet or supplements.
Key Physical & Chemical Properties:
• Chemical Structure: Composed of a ureido ring, a sulfur atom, and a valeric acid side chain. There are 8 known isomers, and only the natural α-biotin (D-biotin) has biological activity.
• Appearance: Colorless needle-like crystals, extremely soluble in hot water, slightly soluble in cold water and ethanol, insoluble in organic solvents.
• Stability: Highly heat-resistant, with minimal loss during normal cooking. However, its structure is easily destroyed by strong acids, strong alkalis, oxidizing agents, and ultraviolet light.
• Storage Requirements: Must be stored away from light and in a sealed container. In the human body, biotin is mainly stored in the liver, with low levels in the blood.

Physiological Functions
1. Forms the photosensitive substances in visual cells, maintaining normal visual function.
2. Preserves the integrity and health of epithelial tissue, protecting the skin barrier.
3. Enhances the body's immune response and resistance, improving overall health defense.
4. Supports normal growth and development, suitable for nutritional needs across all age groups.
5. Participates in keratin synthesis, serving as a core nutrient for the healthy growth of hair and nails.
Application Scenarios
• API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient): Used in the production of nutritional supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceutical preparations.
• Cosmetic Raw Material: Added to hair care and skincare products to improve hair quality and skin condition.
• Feed Additive: Used in livestock and poultry farming to promote animal growth and health.
