with other B vitamins, is needed to convert the food you eat into useable
energy that supports a healthy metabolism. Vitamin B7 does this in several
ways;

It converts glucose from carbohydrates and sugar
sources into useable “fuel” that is the body’s preferred source of energy.
·
It helps the body use amino acids from proteins
to carry out multiple body functions.
·
It activates fatty acids from fat-containing foods
like oils or animal fats.

been shown to help lower blood sugar in people with diabetes. This is

controlled well by prescription medicines. Vitamin B7 benefits blood glucose
levels because it facilitates the activity of insulin, which is the crucial
hormone needed to bring blood sugar back to a balanced state.

protect skin from acne, fungal infections, rashes and severe dryness and
cracking.

B7 and other B vitamins can stunt growth and result in improper development in
fetuses & infants.
