Many people have a need to add something to themselves. This is used by manufacturers of biologically active food additives. And now the manufacturers have made biotin supplements. We are this biotin already discussed. We get it without any problems with different products. But if you eat the supplement, then there will be an overkill of biotin. This is not harmful in itself, but it can spoil some analyzes and lead the examination of such a poor fellow in the wrong direction.
The fact is that biotin can tightly bind to avidin from raw eggs. The strength of this bond is used in some laboratory analyzes to hold one reagent with another. And they also use it in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases.
If a person has an excess of harmless biotin in his blood, then this does not harm the person, but it completely confuses the results of some laboratory tests. Moreover, in the case of thyroxine and TSH, a very complex picture is obtained: thyroxine seems to scale, and TSH seems to fall. Very similar to thyrotoxicosis. But in fact, there is no thyrotoxicosis, and the person looks healthy.
In short, if you plan to get tested to evaluate thyroid function, but are taking biotin supplements, then tell your doctor about it.
Have such miracles happened to you?
I recommend reading the story of a person who has been ate only raw eggs.
