Now, Skokowa et al. describe a new pathway involving vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) metabolism to explain how G-CSF triggers granulopoiesis. Given that C/EBPs are known to activate the transcription of ...

Scientists have found that having a form of vitamin B3 helps to reduce inflammation ... When this enters the body it is converted into a molecule known as NAD+, which is thought to boost the ...

A further study highlights the importance of a molecule synthesized from vitamin B3 to aging processes at the cellular level.

Among patients with COPD, those receiving 6-week nicotinamide riboside, “a B3-like vitamin,” had significantly decreased lung inflammation, according to results published in Nature Aging.

Nicotinamide riboside (NR), which is a variant of Vitamin B3, is rapidly gaining popularity in the dietary supplement industry. NR serves as a precursor to NAD+, a crucial molecule that plays a ...

“NAD+ increases when we are fasting. Fasting is a well known way to increase longevity in many animals, which has raised high interest towards NAD as a molecule promoting health also in humans.
