Food Products Follow-up Formulas, Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Analysis

Having enough niacin (vitamin B3) in the body is important for overall health. As a treatment, taking higher amounts of niacin improves cholesterol levels. As a cholesterol treatment, niacin raises good cholesterol levels and lowers triglycerides. Niacin also moderately lowers bad cholesterol.

However, niacin is only effective as a cholesterol treatment at fairly high doses. However, these doses pose risks such as liver damage, stomach upsets or glucose intolerance. For this reason, over-the-counter niacin supplements should not be used.

Everyone needs a certain amount of niacin for the body to function normally. It is recommended that children take 2-16 milligrams per day, men 16 milligrams, women 14 milligrams and adults 35 milligrams, depending on age. Foods rich in niacin include yeast, milk, meat and cereal grains.

In short, niacin works as a coenzyme in the body and there are more than 400 enzymes dependent on this vitamin for various reactions. Niacin helps convert food into energy, build cholesterol and fats, repair DNA and exert antioxidant effects.
