Niacin, also referred to as vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid, constitutes a water-soluble member of the B-vitamin complex, playing an indispensable role in a multitude of physiological processes. Its discovery dates back to the 18th century, when widespread outbreaks of pellagra—a condition stemming from chronic niacin deficiency—prompted researchers to investigate its biological significance. Only the severe health repercussions associated with its insufficiency revealed the compound’s fundamental importance in cellular energy metabolism and the preservation of tissue integrity, thereby underscoring its status as an essential nutrient.

Niacin

Niacin, häufig Vitamin B3 oder Vitamin PP genannt, ist ein gemeinsamer Name für zwei Verbindungen: Nikotinsäure und ihr Amid. Diese Verbindungen sind notwendig für den Prozess der Entstehung unserer Koenzime: Nikonaminiddinukleotid (NAD+) und sein Phosphor (NADP+). Beide Verbindungen erfüllen eine sehr wichtige Funktion in vielen Reaktionen. NAD+ ist vor allem ein Oxidationsfaktor, was bedeutet, dass es jedoch einen Elektron aufnehmen kann. Es ist beteiligt. In den Glycysen, also im Zerfall der Blutkörperchen, werden wir Energie erzeugen.

Die Eigenschaften von Niacin

Der aktuelle Bedarf an Niacin wird in Milligramm angegeben. Hohe Dosen von Gramm können jedoch in einigen klinischen Fällen vorteilhaft sein. Es wird gezeigt, dass niacin dazu beitragen kann, LDL-Cholesterin zu reduzieren, das Fortschreiten von Atemzügen zu behindern, Triglyceride zu verringern und auch die Adiponektin-Konzentration zu fördern. Adiponektin ist ein Hormon, das in fettleibigen Menschen in geringeren Mengen produziert wird.

Das Dosis von Niacin

Die Dosis von Niacin hängt von dem Zweck der Ergänzung ab. Wird sofort oder länger aufgenommen. In den Vereinigten Staaten sind einige von ihnen von der FDA zugelassen worden, um Dyslipidemie zu behandeln, z. B. Niacor. Eine Tablette enthält bis zu 500 mg Niacin (während der tägliche Bedarf für Erwachsene 14 16 mg ist). Solche hohen Konzentrationen sollten nur bei Mangel oder bei der Behandlung von Lipidstörungen eingenommen werden.

Niacin Nebenwirkungen

Das häufigste Symptom, das bei den meisten Menschen auftritt, die selbst relativ niedrige Dosen (50 100 mg) einnehmen, ist das so genannte Flashing.

Niacin für Depressionen

Niacinin ist nicht routinemäßig in der Behandlung von Depressionen eingesetzt, aber einige sehen dieses Potenzial. In weniger als einem Jahr der Symptome einer reduzierten Gastrointestinale, Selbstmordgedanken und andere charakteristische Krankheitserkrankungen wurden erfahren. Eine Frau kämpfte 27 Jahre ihres Lebens mit einer pharmazeutisch unwirksamen Depression.
