Niacin Vitamin B3 90 caps Allergy Research Group

Niacin is an important vitamin that your body requires for many functions. The B vitamin helps your body utilize carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats; aids in the production of sex- and stress-related hormones; is vital to nervous system functioning; and is necessary for healthy skin‚ hair‚ eyes‚ liver‚ and circulation.

Unfortunately‚ your body can't store niacin. You must obtain it on a daily basis from food or supplements. Most people in the United States and other developed countries get enough niacin from their diets by eating foods such as organ meats‚ fish‚ vegetables‚ beans‚ peanuts‚ bread‚ and cereal. However‚ certain conditions can cause a niacin deficiency; these include a poor diet‚ diarrhea‚ alcoholism‚ liver disorders‚ carcinoid syndrome (characterized by a group of tumors found in the small intestine‚ colon‚ appendix‚ or lungs)‚ and Hartnup disease (a genetic disorder in which your body can’t absorb the amino acids necessary for making niacin).
