To summarize the first article in this series, we continue to be a world of haves and have-nots but in today’s version even the haves are suffering and they are suffering from having too much. This too much is too much food but not enough nutrition. The haves can eat all the time but they are choosing to eat the wrong foods and or the empty foods. Empty foods meaning that they are eating but there is no nutritional value in the food that they are choosing to eat, this is why we are giving you this information on where to find the whole food sources for the majority of your vitamin and mineral needs.
In this supplement we are covering the systems supported, the benefits to be found and the whole food sources for vitamin B3, Niacin.
Systems support and Benefits:
Vitamin B3 supports the cardiovascular, digestive, hepatic (liver), integumentary (skin), and nervous systems and the soft tissue and the tongue. Vitamin B3 is converted to the cofactor NAD, which is an important part of the oxidation-reduction reactions that drive cellular respiration. NAD is involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids as well as biosynthetic reactions. B3 promotes a healthy heart and skin integrity, promotes hydrochloric acid production and cellular respiration, and enhances metabolism and circulation.
Food sources:
Fish (salmon, tuna, halibut), lamb, lean beef, liver, mushrooms, nutritional yeast, organ meats, poultry, and wheat germ.
