Biotin Deficiency
A nutritional deficiency caused by avidin in raw egg whites binding to biotin and preventing its absorption.
Key Facts
- Raw egg whites contain the enzyme avidin, which tightly binds to biotin.
- Chronic consumption can lead to poor skin health and coat deterioration.
- Cooking eggs denatures avidin, eliminating the risk of biotin deficiency.
