Vitamin B3

We need about 10 to 20 milligrams per day (1 milligram = 0.001 gram) of nicotinic acid.In the intestinal tract, the amino acid tryptophan can be converted to niacin by bacterial action and thus can serve as a source for part of the niacin we need.Some doctors recommend inositol hexaniacinate for people who need large amounts of niacin because it has not been linked with any of the usual niacin toxicity in scientific research.

Vitamin B3 is essential for normal growth and for healthy skinWhen used as therapy for a specific disease, niacin, niacinamide, and inositol hexaniacinate are taken in dosages much higher than nutritional needs, about 1 to 4 g daily.
Because of the risk of liver inflammation at these doses, medical supervision is essential.
