DID YOU KNOW that niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide (a form of vitamin niacin or vitamin B3), is important for healthy mitochondrial function and cellular energy production?

Niacinamide can also be used to prevent declining testosterone levels in men and women, and protects against stress by lowering cortisol.

Niacinamide is often recommended by Mohs surgeons to prevent skin cancer reoccurrence.

A Frontiers in Nutrition study found that dietary niacin was associated with a 23% reduction in risk of Parkinson's disease for each 10 mg increase in niacin intake. A separate Frontiers in Nutrition study found that subjects 20 years or older with the highest dietary niacin intake had the lowest risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

DID YOU KNOW that a multivitamin-mineral (MVM) can improve some aspects of your overall wellbeing?

Researchers in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel groups trial to investigate the effects of 12-week MVM supplementation on measures of wellbeing, mood, and memory; physical health and activity; and social interaction and loneliness.

MVM led to increased feelings of friendliness in females. In males, following MVM, there were lower levels of prolonged stress reactivity, lower overall stress reactivity, and lower emotional loneliness.

The group that took the placebo showed no improvements in wellbeing.

DID YOU KNOW that a new study from Annals of Neurology found that older adults with lower blood B12 levels, even within the accepted reference range, showed signs of cognitive decline and brain damage?

Researchers found that these individuals had slower thinking and reaction times, along with white matter lesions linked to dementia. Their blood B12 levels averaged 414.8 pmol/L.

We have said for years that the low end of accepted B12 reference range (400 pmol/L) needs to be elevated to at least 600, especially for older individuals.

A recent study in Clinical Nutrition found optimal B12 levels had a protective effect on cognitive functioning and neuropsychiatric symptoms in older adults.
