Biotin is a form of vitamin B found in foods. Biotin helps the body break down fats, carbohydrates, and other substances.

However, research has shown that biotin may not be effective in treating this condition. Other uses not proven with research have included treating brittle nails or thinning hair, diabetes, nerve pain, and other conditions.
