Vitamin B3 (Niacin, niacinamide, nicotinic acid)

This multi-talented B vitamin assists in the production of neurotransmitters and is known to reduce cholesterol levels. Niacin improves circulation in the brain is effective in treating various mental illnesses, and helps overall neuron function in the central nervous system. Niacin is best known for its ability to mobilize fat from cells into the blood. This is crucial for certain detox programs that use niacin to substitute "clean" fat for "dirty" fat-holding poisons such as heavy metals pesticides, and solvents.

The richest food sources of vitamin B3 include beef liver, brewer's yeast, broccoli, carrots, cheese, eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, pork, potatoes, tomatoes, and wheat germ. Whole wheat products are also good sources.
