B3 — vegansk

FOOD ALLOWANCE
B3 from Green Vitamins
Grønne Vitaminer's B3 contains 200mg of vegan vitamin B3 from vegetable nicotinamide, which does not cause flare-ups like nicotinic acid does. The tablets are small and easy to swallow, and 1 can is enough for 3 months of consumption.

What is vitamin B3?
Vitamin B3 is also called Niacin, and covers the two types of vitamin B3: Nicotinic acid and Nicotinamide. Like vitamin B2, vitamin B3 is also an important coenzyme that is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fat and protein. In addition, vitamin B3 is converted to tryptophan in the body, which is used to form serotonin.

What are the functions of vitamin B3?
Vitamin B3 contributes to maintaining:

• normal nervous system
• normally functioning psyche
• skin and mucous membranes
• counteracts fatigue and exhaustion
• energy metabolism

Why might I be deficient in vitamin B3?
Niacin can actually be formed from nicotine in the tobacco plant, but this does not mean that you can get your daily vitamin B3 supplement from tobacco - on the contrary, because if you have a large consumption of tobacco, alcohol, sugar or diuretics, you may be lacking the vitamin B3, as absorption in your intestines is destroyed.

The difference between nicotinic acid and nicotinamide
Nicotinic acid acts as a vasodilator and promotes circulation, which can cause you to flare up from the increased blood flow in the small blood vessels of the face. This function has nicotinamide, which is why you don't flare up when you eat nicotinamide.
