Deficiency
Avidin binds tightly with biotin, thereby diminishing its absorption. In children, genetically based metabolic anomalies may be behind biotin deficiency. This deficiency appears as changes in immune system function and in a heightened susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections.
Signs of vitamin B8 deficiency:
Skin inflammation and hypersensitivity (redness around the eyes, nose, and mouth);
Conjunctivitis;
Hair loss;
Absence or loss of pigment in the hair;
Muscle soreness;
Loss of appetite;
Nausea;
Neurological disorders (depression, fatigue, hallucinations, and tingling hands and feet);
