D-Biotin, commonly known as Biotin, is also referred to as Vitamin H or Coenzyme R. This water-soluble micronutrient belongs to the B-complex group (B7). It plays a critical role in energy metabolism by aiding the synthesis of Vitamin C and the breakdown of fats and proteins. Additionally, it supports essential physiological processes, including tissue maintenance and cellular function, making it integral to overall health.
