Bt is also known as carnitine and has been used as an abbreviation for biotin. Initially, it was found to be a dietary essential for the mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and later showing promise in human nutrition. Under normal conditions, humans and higher animals can synthesize carnitine from lysine and methionine but protein malnutrition will lower carnitine production as well as in those who suffer from disorders making carnitine synthesis impossible. Carnitine functions in lipid metabolism as a carrier of long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation. Abnormalities seen in carnitine deficiency include muscle weakness, hypoglycemia, and lipid accumulation between muscle fibers. Evidence of carnitine deficiency is also seen in premature infants on IV feedings and in infants fed soy formula that is not enriched, as well as in certain lipid storage diseases of the muscles.
Form is L-carnitine.
Deficiency symptoms include: decreased metabolism of fatty acids, angina, heart disease, enlarged heart, heart malfunctions, fibrillation, increased keytones in the blood, fatigue, muscle weakness/cramps/pain, fat accumulation in the muscles, increased blood cholesterol/lipids/triglycerides, decreased hemoglobin levels, decreased number of red blood cells, male sterility.
Toxicity symptoms include: pupil dilation, excess salivation, diarrhea, nausea.
Inhibitors include: heat, D-carnitine, and dialysis.
Helpers include: Vitamins B3, B5, B6, C, iron, methionine, lysine.
Bw appears to be identical to biotin.
Names include: vitamin H, vitamin H1, vitamin B7, vitamin B3a, bacterial vitamin H, biotin, coenzyme R, anti-egg white injury factor, factor X, nucite, biosII, Bioepiderm.
Forms ainclude: biotin, biotin sulfoxide.
Deficiency symptoms include: anemia, fatigue, depression, decreased appetite, nausea, sore/cracked/inflamed tongue, skin pallor, grayish mucus membranes, skin rashes/changes/inflammation/eczema, increased skin sensitivity/burning or prickly sensations, thinning hair, insomnia, slow wound healing, decreased immunity, muscle pain, increased cholesterol, heart conditions, paralysis. Rebound deficiency can occur if large doses are halted abruptly. There are no known toxicities to 10,000 mcg.
Inhibitors include: raw egg white, water, sulfa drugs, estrogen, food processing, alcohol, antibiotics, nitrous acid, oxygen, formaldehyde, chloramine T, strong acid or alkali.
Helpers include: Vitamins B5, B12, Bc, C, sulphur.
Vitamin Bw sulfoxide is an ineffective form of vitamin Bw. Other names include: biotin sulfoxide, AN factor. Sources for it are derived from Aspergillus niger cultures, milk residue concentrates, and internal synthesis.
