Liquid Vitamin B3 Niacin
T.
J. Clark Liquid Vitamin B3 Niacin:
Niacin is more commonly known as nicotinamide in
the biochemical community and plays an important role in the biosynthesis of
pyridine nucleotides. This nitrogen heterocyclic biochemical is combined in vivo
with the nucleotide adenosine to form nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD),
which serves as a soluble electron carrier in biochemical reactions.
Clinically, niacin serves to maintain normal
function of the digestive system, helps to reduce cholesterol levels, and serves
to reduce dizziness and ringing in the ears. Niacin has been tested for its
effects on cardiovascular-disease risk factors in a number of major trials. In
the largest of these, the effect of niacin on cardiovascular endpoints was
studied. Symptoms associated with niacin deficiency include general weakness and
fatigue, loss of appetite, dermatitis, skin lesions, a swollen tongue, diarrhea,
mental confusion, irritability, and, when the central nervous system is
affected, depression and mental disturbances. Megadoses of niacin have been used
experimentally in the treatment of schizophrenia, although no experimental proof
has been produced to show its efficacy. In large amounts it reduces levels of
cholesterol in the blood, and it has been used extensively in preventing and
treating arteriosclerosis. Large doses over long periods cause liver damage.
Common sources of niacin include cheese, beans,
milk, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, whole grains, and brewer's yeast.
