B3—also known as niacin, vitamin P, or vitamin PP—helps release energy from nutrients.
It can reduce cholesterol and prevent and treat arteriosclerosis, among other benefits.
Too little B3 can result in pellagra, a disease with symptoms that include sunburn, diarrhea, irritability, swollen tongue, and mental confusion.
Too much B3 can result in liver damage.
Food sources rich in niacin are chicken, salmon, tuna, liver, nuts, dried peas, enriched cereals, and dried beans.
No more than 14-18 mg per day for adults.
Good health...
