Vitamin-B3
Vitamin B3, also known as Niacin or vitamin PP, includes pyridyl-β-carboxylic acid (nicotinic acid) and its derivatives, which exhibit the biological activity of nicotinamide.
Nicotinic acid is found in plants and nicotinamide is characteristic of animal tissues.
The biologically active forms of Niacin are nicotinamide adenin dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenin dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) which act as coenzymes, intervening in most electron and H + transfer reactions in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids.
Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin with many benefits:
- protects against Alzheimer’s and other age-related brain diseases;
- it is necessary for cellular respiration;
- helps in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins;
- promotes good circulation and healthy skin;

- helps the normal secretion of bile and stomach fluids;
- it is effective in the treatment of anxiety;
- it is also prescribed as a natural treatment for acne cleansing (with topical use);
- by helping to reduce inflammation, redness and irritation, it is also used to treat skin conditions.
