Description
"Vitamin B3" is a supplement featuring niacin, a vital coenzyme precursor found in protein-rich foods like meat, fish, and whole grains. It plays a role in serotonin and dopamine synthesis, supporting mental balance and mood regulation. Niacin also influences circulation, aiding nutrient and oxygen transport. Additionally, it participates in lipid metabolism, promoting cholesterol balance. This vitamin supports neurotransmitter activity, contributing to nervous system health. As a key dietary component, vitamin B3 remains fundamental in sustaining metabolic balance.

When To Take It
For optimal metabolism and energy support, it is recommended to take vitamin B3 in the morning, but it can be consumed anytime during the day depending on individual needs.
Synergy and Antagonism
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) works in synergy with other B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, and B12), as well as vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals like magnesium, zinc, and chromium, to enhance metabolism, DNA repair, and skin health. However, excessive calcium, copper, and sodium intake can reduce its effectiveness, and alcohol consumption depletes niacin levels, creating an antagonistic interaction.
