Niacin

Niacin is essential for the proper metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It contributes to the conversion of food into energy and supports the normal functioning of energy metabolism.

Niacin is important for maintaining healthy skin. It supports the production of coenzyme NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is crucial for skin cell regeneration and repair. Niacin helps to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the symptoms of skin diseases such as dermatitis or acne.

It has a positive effect on cardiovascular health. It helps to increase the level of "good" cholesterol (HDL) and reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood. This helps to reduce the risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis. It is important for the proper function of the nervous system. It plays a role in the production of neurotransmitters, which are necessary for the transmission of signals between nerve cells. Niacin deficiency can lead to neurological disorders such as pellagra.

Niacin is crucial for DNA synthesis, which is important for cell growth, development and repair. It also helps in the formation of genetic materials and the regulation of gene expression. It promotes healthy digestion by stimulating the production of stomach acids, digestive enzymes and mucosal cells. It helps in the treatment of digestive disorders such as inflammation of the stomach lining.
