and is abundant in liver, kidney, pancreas, yeast, and milk. The biotin content of
cancerous tissue is higher than that of normal tissue.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A nutrient in the vitamin B complex that the body needs in small amounts
to function and stay healthy. Biotin helps some enzymes break down substances in the
body for energy and helps tissues develop. It is found in yeast, whole milk, egg yolks,
and organ meats. Biotin is water-soluble (can dissolve in water) and must be taken
in every day. Not enough biotin can cause skin, nerve, and eye disorders. Biotin is
