Plant-based biotin is accompanied by hundreds of factors which increase its absorption in the body. D-biotin, an active form of biotin found naturally, is 100 times more biologically active and a better dietary source of vitamin compared to animal-based biotin. According to a study performed on animals ‘Biotin amelioration of nephrotoxicity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice‘, biotin may help prevent kidney damage in people with insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes.
