Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

Vitamin B3, also called Niacin, Niacinamide, or Nicotinic Acid, is an essential nutrient required by all humans for the proper metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well as for the production of hydrochloric acid for digestion.

Vitamin B3 also supports proper blood circulation, healthy skin, and aids in the functioning of the central nervous system.

Adequate levels of B3 are vital for the proper usage of insulin, and the sex hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone.
