The Benefits of B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin B3 is what we like to call a helper vitamin. It works with the other B Vitamins to energize the cells. It helps to regulate circulation, hormones, glucose and works with B2 and B6 to promote healthy skin. Vitamin B3 keeps the digestive system and the nervous system operating at peak performance when you have the proper amounts in your system at all times. Vitamin B3 is also useful in treating certain conditions such as PMS, especially since it helps to regulate hormones. There have also been proven links that B3 can prevent dizziness, headaches and circulation problems. In addition to those benefits already mentioned, vitamin B3 benefits also include: maintaining healthy skin, increasing circulation and help lower high blood pressure. The vitamin has also been known to boost enery levels. And, we know that Vitamin B3, known as Niacin can boost HDL, which is the good cholesterol.
Vitamin B3 Deficient?
Deficiencies can occur to the extreme with B3 and cause a fatal disease called Pellagra. Symptoms of deficiency include canker sores, dementia, diarrhea, and dizziness. Other symptoms include fatigue, halitosis-bad breath, headaches, and indigestion. Insomnia, pain in the extremities, reduced appetite, low blood sugar levels, muscle weakness, skin eruptions, and inflammation. So, you can see the importance of getting the proper amount of Vitamin B3.
People most at risk for being B3 deficient are those who consume alcohol in excess because the alcohol absorbs the niacin in the body. Also, vegetarians may be at risk for a B3 deficiency if they are not careful, making sure they have the proper balanced vegetarian diet.
We all know that too much of a good thing may be equally bad. So, if you feel that you are not getting enough Vitamin B3, it is important to let your doctor run tests and decide. Many people try to self diagnose which sometimes if not completely in tune with your body can be a harmful thing. Many side effects can be attributed to many various situations and only a trained professional can properly diagnose those symptoms.

B5 is very important for the metabolism and hormone balance. Its another one of those vitamins important for keeping healthy. Another great nbenefit of Vitamin B5 is that it keeps the skin and nervous system healthy. Vitamin B5 helps the body process carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Vitamin B5 Deficiencies
The lack of Vitamin B5 may cause fatigue and affect your immune system making it more likey to catch infections. It is also possible to suffer from insomnia and frequent cramping. Vitamin B5 is very important for the proper functioning of the nerves in the body. But,the most important function for B5 is making sure the body turns food into useful energy.
Natutal Nutritional Vitamin B5
The best thing about Vitamin B5 is that it is found in almost all foods, although it may only be a small amount in some foods. However, its easy to obtain, decreasing the risk of B5 deficiency. However, be careful! Just because B5 is so easily available through most foods, the nutrient is easily lost during the cooking of foods. Especially the vegetables as we commonly over cook the vegetables. So,here's a simple and short list of some Vitamin B5 rich foods.
Yeast
Liver
Eggs
Peanuts
Mushrooms
Split peas
Soya beans
Vitamin B5 Deficiency
Vitamin B5 is extremely rare in developed countries because its so readily available in a huge variety of foods. However, in cases where poor diet or health problems may be of concern, your doctor can run tests to decide if your are B5 deficient.
