Who are likely to be deficient in Biotin?

Biotin is found in many foods:
Beef Liver, Chicken, Cheese, Brown Rice, Green Peas, Milk, Oat Bran, Peanuts, Salmon, Soybeans and Walnuts

New born babies are the most likely to be deficient in Biotin, this is simply because they do not have any "good bacteria" in their body to make Biotin for them. Therefore, an small amount of Biotin supplements are suggested for infants, but make sure you consult with the doctor before do it. The following people are also likely to be deficient in Biotin:
- People who are taking anti-biotics drugs. Remember, if your body has less bacteria, then there are less Biotin produced
- People whom eats raw eggs. (Cooked ones are fine)
- People with very low-calorie diets

For general population, we recommend you getting a complex vitamin that contains rich Biotin.
