Re: Biotin shortage?

["Beth Gunn" <happyhoofprints@hotmail.com>]

When placing my order for B-15 with Jeffers, found out the $15 item had
increased to (i think) $60?!  Now I understand why....cancelled that item.
Where is the B 15 derived from?  What source, animal or vegetable?  Drag out
the nutrition manuals:)
