Vitamin B3 (Niacin) can be found naturally in eggs,
poultry, dairy products, whole grains, lean meats, nuts, many vegetables,
and fish. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) plays a big role at the cellular level. It
aids energy metabolism and repairing DNA. Vitamin B3 can be produced by the
liver but the process is slow and involves Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal,
and pyridoxamine) and the presence of certain amino acids. A deficiency in
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) slows the metabolism. Bodybuilders do not want a slow
metabolism as they want to stay extra lean, making it that much more
important to them. In a case of extreme deficiency Pellagra can be a result.
