Biotin is found in several foods such as carrots, liver, yeast and bananas and is important for the synthesis of not only of keratin but also fatty acids, glucose and also some important amino acids. It helps to regulate the biochemical processes by which cells metabolize nutrients which help control blood sugar levels.

Biotin levels are on the lower side in athletes, the elderly, those who follow poor diet and pregnant and nursing mothers who have reduced levels of biotin because of the increased demand of vitamins from the body. Also people with metabolic disorders like alcoholics are known to have lower levels of biotin than in the general population.

There are numbers of experienced hair doctors who provide hair transplant in Delhi and the NCR region through various techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and DHT (Direct Hair Transplantation). The hair transplant cost in Delhi depends on the number of hair grafts, the techniques implemented and hair transplant doctor.
