Biotan
Were you looking for information about Biotin? Biotan is a common misspelling of biotin.
Biotin is an essential vitamin that the body needs in order to function properly. This vitamin (also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H) can be consumed through normal dietary means, and the body also produces it naturally. People who have certain allergies, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding should talk to their healthcare provider before using biotin supplements. Also, to avoid possible complications, make sure to check with your healthcare provider about using biotin if you are also taking other medications (including non-prescription medicines, vitamins, or other supplements).
(Click Biotin for more detailed information about this vitamin, including an explanation of how biotin works, possible side effects, and important precautions and warnings to be aware of before starting the supplement.)
