Vitamin B3 Niacin, or B3 is one of the better known and studied B vitamins, primarily for its use in cardiovascular disease, namely lowering cholesterol levels, as well as its support of the nervous system. Niacin has been used in higher dosages to treat a variety of mental illness, including schizophrenia. Niacin causes the release of histamine, which then dilates blood vessels, helpful for those with compromised circulation, as in cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Flush-free or no-flush niacin is a form of nicotinic acid also known as inositol hexaniacinate. Flush-free niacin gets its name from its ability to alleviate side effects like flushing that are seen with nicotinic acid niacin. Supplements can be found in capsule, powder and tablet formats. https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/vitamin-b/single-b-vitamins/b3.html #VitaminB

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) WHAT IS VITAMIN B6 (PYRIDOXINE)? Vitamin B6, or pyridoxine, is a water-soluble vitamin that participates in more functions in the human body than any other nutrient. It is essential to over 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism and plays a major role in everything from movement to memory to energy expenditure, blood sugar regulation and healthy blood flow. Because the body cannot make its own B6, it must be supplied daily through diet and/or supplementation. https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/vitamin-b/single-b-vitamins/b6-pyridoxine.html #VitaminB
