T. J. Clark Liquid Vitamin B3. Niacin or Vitamin B3 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.
Mega doses 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.
