Show Notes
In episode 38, I cover the scientific evidence on the vitamin B3, niacin. Niacin's discovery has a rich history as it took scientists decades to prove that the epidemic of Pellagra was caused by niacin deficiency. Today, niacin is being investigated for its effects on longevity and successful aging. Niacin is converted into the essential signaling molecule NAD+. High dose niacin supplementation has been investigated for reducing cholesterol and heart disease risk; however results are controversial. Abnormal responses to niacin are implicated in Schizophrenia. I also discuss the impact of niacin on skin health and the best food sources. Tune in for the details!
