Vb7 Actions |
||
Vb7 is necessary for the proper functioning of enzymes that transport carboxyl units and fix carbon dioxide, and is required for various metabolic functions, including gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, propionate metabolism, and catabolism of branched-chain amino acids.
The dose of Vb7 will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of Vb7. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of Vb7, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
If you miss taking Vb7 supplements for one or more days there is no cause for concern, since it takes some time for your body to become seriously low in Vb7. However, if your health care professional has recommended that you take Vb7, try to remember to take it as directed every day.

Vb7 is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin which is composed of an ureido ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring. A valeric acid substituent is attached to one of the carbon atoms of the tetrahydrothiophene ring. Vb7 is used in cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. It plays a role in the Kreb cycle, which is the process in which energy is released from food. Vb7 not only assists in various metabolic chemical conversions, but also helps with the transfer of carbon dioxide. Vb7 is also helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. Vb7 is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails. Consequenty, it is found in many cosmetic and health products for the hair and skin. Vb7 deficiency is a rare nutritional disorder caused by a deficiency of Vb7. Initial symptoms of Vb7 deficiency include: Dry skin, Seborrheic dermatitis, Fungal infections, rashes including erythematous periorofacial macular rash, fine and brittle hair, and hair loss or total alopecia. If left untreated, neurological symptoms can develop, including mild depression, which may progress to profound lassitude and, eventually, to somnolence; changes in mental status, generalized muscular pains (myalgias), hyperesthesias and paresthesias. The treatment for Vb7 deficiency is to simply start taking some Vb7 supplements. A lack of Vb7 in infants will lead to a condition called seborrheic dermatitis or "cradle cap". Vb7 deficiencies are extremely rare in adults but if it does occur, it will lead to anemia, depression, hair loss, high blood sugar levels, muscle pain, nausea, loss of appetite and inflamed mucous membranes.
