Suppresses absorption of Vitamin B3. This medication is commonly used for Depression
Research on the connection between vitamin B3 (niacin) and depression is growing. Studies suggest that people who met the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for niacin had a significantly lower risk of depression compared to those with lower intake. Vitamin B3 plays a role in converting food into energy, which is essential for brain function and overall well-being. Deficiencies can lead to fatigue and low mood. Some research suggests vitamin B3 might be involved in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which plays a role in mood regulation. Deficiencies in some neurotransmitters are linked to depression. Supplementation with vitamin B3 may help support mood and protect against depression.
