Learn How Can Niacin (B3) Can Help You Reducing Your Anxiety

by Keith Woolley
Anxiety is a huge mental health issue in contemporary society as well as is an aspect of daily living felt by nearly everyone no matter what their circumstance, status or position in life.  There are several forms of anxiety varying from the simple feeling of unease or even tension to very serious forms of life-debilitating mental diseases that could lead to real physical maladies, depression, thoughts of suicide and death. 
 
The effectiveness of anti-anxiety medications, varying from renowned synthetic inhibitors meant to increase serotonin levels in the brain, to powerful anti-psychotic drugs, is still an open question as well as debatable. Heavy medication through anti-anxiety medicines have shown to help resolve symptoms of anxiety, but also most often have many difficult side effects which in some instances might be as troublesome as the primary symptoms of anxiety itself!
 
Studies have proved that a more natural way to deal with anxiety, coupled with methods like mindfulness, a healthy diet and exercise, is to use an herbal supplement such as GinkoBiloba, or a vitamin supplement such as B-3, or Niacin. It's well established that Niacin has effective biological effects on the body, such as its ability to reduce harmful cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. Less established, but with growing interest, is it's use as an help in reducing anxiety and even depression and studies have shown that its also helpful for all those suffering from mental illness and even schizophrenia when taken on a day today basis.
 
People who procure vitamins on the internet know that Niacin can be bought easily in pill form. Determining how much you take could be a rigorous task. Many people who first begin to take Niacin experience flushing after the first intake, a deep reddening of the skin, a feeling of intense heat as well as prickly sensation and sometimes diarrhea or vomiting. It may be vital to take low doses at first and build up to a dose which exhibits strong side effects in order to establish a limit.
 
Niacin is not known to be a harmful nutrient; it is a vitamin which all people need to one degree or the other. Reports has shown that when taken regularly, B-3 has been successful in calming anxious thoughts, reducing muscular tension and helping people who suffer from anxiety to relax. Coupled with other means of healthy living, it can be an effective tool in combating anxiety, depression and other symptoms which result from these disorders.
