Biotin (as well known as vitamin B8) is a vitamin which acts in metabolism of amino acids and other acids. Pantothenic acid (as well recognized as vitamin B5) is significant for the aerobic cellular respiration because it acts in the transport of acyl and acetyl radicals.

Biotin is made by bacteria which live in human digestive tube (under inter-specific harmonious ecological interaction) and this supply in general is sufficient for body. Biotin and pantothenic acid are found in vegetables, eggs, cereals, fish, and lean and meat milk.
