Vitamin B3

🌼 What Is Vitamin B3?

Vitamin B3 (niacin) is a water-soluble nutrient involved in energy production, metabolism, and general nervous system wellness. It is naturally present in foods such as meats, fish, legumes, and whole grains. Some individuals may notice different wellness patterns when consuming certain forms or amounts of niacin.
