I'm wondering if having issues with pyruvate carboxylase can make women be more susceptible to PMS. You mentioned before that manganese can help with PMS, and there is evidence that giving women oxaloacetate can help with PMS. It stands to reason that biotin may also help with PMS in women deficient in it due to various reasons.
I also wanted to add that my friend started taking biotin (I think a few mg) and her eczema started to go away.
I agree. I haven’t mentioned it anywhere but I’m actually putting on a black shirt every morning and ruffling my fingers through my hair for exactly one minute and taking pictures of my shoulders and chest to quantify the dandruff that comes out during the biotin repletion period.
I'm interested in this question also, as my kids, in addition to the awful cradlecap that turned into awful dandruff, all have KP on their legs and upper arms. Since we've just begun experimenting with biotin, I'll keep an eye on both the dandruff and the KP and report back if anything changes.
Or just start taking liver and heart capsules from either HeartandSoil.com or AncestralSupplements.com and now Tom Cowan is carrying them, but I have yet to try his.

Thanks again Chris, great article as always!

Oh also, do you think Biotin deficiency could be involved in keratosis pilaris? I know thats typically said to be a vitamin A deficiency.
Well, I have a gut feeling my high need for vitamin A is a compensation for the biotin thing. I’m not 100% sure how to explain the biochemistry yet.
When you can explain the biochemistry I would be very interested as I have the same struggle.

Yes let us know what you find!

If that were sufficient my entire line of inquiry would be pointless.
