BIOTIN

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, generally classified as a B-complex vitamin. After the initial discovery of biotin, nearly forty years of research were required to establish it as a vitamin. Biotin is required by all organisms but can only be synthesized by bacteria, yeasts, moulds, algae, and some plant species.

Research in pigs suggests that when supplementing Biotin there may be an improvement in their horn quality, but this has never been fully proven in hoof growth for horses. However there is evidence to support the belief that it does help when presented with correct nutrition.
