Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti

  • Lately I've been experiencing diarrhea and skin rash/irritation.
  • Hello Mia, what seems to be the issue today?
  • But what is so important about niacin?
  • Niacin helps your body release energy from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It is also needed for a healthy nervous system and mucous membranes.
  • Oh no, that's not good. Based on your symptoms I think you may be experiencing niacin deficiency.
  • A deficiency can lead to pellagra, a disease with symptoms that include dermatitis and nervous system failure.
  • What will happen if I do not get enough niacin?
  • Major sources includes most meats, peanuts, dried beans, and peas. 
  • How can I make sure I am receiving enough in my diet?
  • Yes there is, as a warning too much niacin can lead to rapid heartbeat, nausea/vomiting, itching, and abdominal pain. Niacin has been linked to liver damage and strokes. Although toxicity is rare be careful as it dilutes capillaries causing a tingling sensation that can be painful.
  • Thank you doctor, is there anything else I should know?
