The Most Powerful Skin Vitamin: Not Vitamin C or E

let's talk about one of the most powerful
vitamins for healthy skin well it's not vitamin e

or vitamin c these are very important but what's
even more important is vitamin b3 and that is

because if you are deficient in vitamin b3 you
could end up with a condition called pellegra

but there's also a sub-clinical version of a b3
deficiency which is not the full-blown disease but

a condition where you have dermatitis
dry brittle skin scaly skin red skin

even skin that is cracking is bleeding so vitamin
b3 is essential for keeping your skin very very

healthy at a very deep level it protects and
restores your DNA so it actually goes very very

deep and vitamin b3 does a lot more than just
helping you with your skin helps cholesterol

it can decrease the risk of schizophrenia and
depression but in 1931 a chemist discovered

if you give a patient with pellegra vitamin b3
they become cured it gets rid of their pellegra

so that's when they connected the link between
pellegra being a vitamin b3 deficiency and they

found that people that had pellegra were consuming
way too much corn or flour refined flour or rice

or drinking too much alcohol so what they did to
solve this problem at that time was instead of

telling people to avoid corn flour and rice they
enriched the grains with synthetic version of

vitamin b3 and other vitamins now if you've been
watching my videos for a while you're probably on

healthy keto you're doing intermittent fasting
and you don't really have to worry about this

because you're not consuming corn flour rice
or well alcohol maybe you are a little bit but

hopefully not too much and you've probably noticed
that your skin is really great

you would take it in a niacin amide form this is
the one that doesn't give you that red flushing

sensation vitamin b3 can also help decrease the
risk of the brown spots on your skin decrease

risk of skin cancer it has anti-aging factors
for your skin it can also help you decrease acne

and this is probably why a lot of these skin
creams have this as one of the ingredient

now i found that you can get vitamin b3
in pretty much any food that you eat so

that's really not the problem the problem is
consuming certain things that are depleting

b3 so anyway i just wanted to make this connection
for you in case you might be deficient in b3 this

could be a simple solution thanks for watching
