Re: Biotin

Hi Tumpa

<< I was wondering if anyone knew of a good source of BIOTIN? >>

Here is what Elaine wrote on Biotin (from the Lyris files):

" I am sure that Freeda has biotin in its Ultra Freeda without

iron ,which some of us use. Biotin is commonly included in good

quality B vitamin supplementation. I have not done specific research

on vitamins. However, with the bowel conditions our children have, I

doubt very much that normal healthy flora are there in sufficient

quantities on the high starch, high sugar diets to make anything good

for us to absorb. I, personally, think that when we get rid of

pathological flora and get microflora back to normal, they should

start making the vitamins they are supposed to make.

Chicken is an excellent source of biotin as are other animal products

such as beef and porl and lamb.

Of course, eating a lot of egg whites destroys any biotin (OH, that

good advice from some professionals)

But again, most good vitamins (and I don't mean polyvisol - terrible)

have biotin. "
