B3 (Niacin)

B3 is a valuable nutrient for skin health, both from a maintenance perspective as well as from a therapeutic one. Its main role is in oxygenating the skin. It does this by acting as a vasodilator for the dermal microcirculation, which means that it forces the tiny network of blood vessels to widen, causing an increase in circulation to the upper layers of the skin. This helps with a number of activities, from wound healing to cellular function.

A word of caution, however. Many people find that this nutrient can cause a rapid and sometimes uncomfortable flushing of the skin. This creates patches of itchy redness. While this can be initially alarming, it is merely a demonstration that the nutrient is working. If you want a more subtle effect, you need to choose a different form of this nutrient. Commercially available forms of niacin come in two different chemical forms: nicotinic acid and niacinamide. The nicotinic acid form is the one that flushes the skin, whereas the niacinamide form delivers a much more gentle circulatory stimulation, without causing the pronounced flushing.

Best Food Sources – mushrooms, tuna, sea vegetables.
