Overall Health

Niacinamide and all forms of Vitamin B-3 is a nutrient that is incredibly important to our body. Having a deficiency can lead to skin, kidney, and brain disorders. Its overall health effects for the skin are also notable. Niacinamide strengthens your skin’s lipid barrier which increases its self-protection and elasticity. It also regulates the oil production of your sebaceous glands, leading to a healthy environment for your skin cells to thrive. Having a diet rich in foods that promote niacinamide, like eggs, beans, fish, and green veggies, can also help you skin. However, doctors and dermatologists alike warn that the only way to guarantee the skin-related benefits of niacinamide is topical treatments.
