Vitaminins... and things

brightrosefoxI got an email from a coworker, asking advice on help for her oily skin. I got to play nutrition and skincare advisor. I directed her to the Anna Bellina website, since Patricia is a licensed specialist, and I told her to load up on zinc and high doses of Biotin. Biotin apparently helps regulate oil production in the skin and promote healthy skin cell growth. Plus, it seems to work for muscle pain and chronic fatigue. Yay!
And guess what that link said about Biotin that I never knew? "Because glucose and fat are used for energy within the nervous system, biotin also functions as a supportive vitamin in this area. Numerous nerve-related symptoms have been linked to biotin deficiency. These symptoms include seizures, lack of muscle coordination (ataxia), and lack of good muscle tone (hypotonia)."
This might help explain why my coordiation has improved and the ataxia is less of a problem. I started taking theraputic doses of Biotin about a month ago, and not only have my hair and nails exploded in growth and health, but my skin has balanced out (except in cases of temporary hormonal freakouts). I might mention this on the cerebral_palsy community.
