10 Benefits of Niacin
Niacin Benefit #4: Boosts Brain Function
Studies have shown that higher doses of niacin, between 400 and 500 mg, increase sensory registration, short-term and long-term memory. Niacin protects memory dysfunctions that are caused by the disruption of oxygen and the restriction of blood flow in the brain.
In some cases, long term supplementation of niacin can normalize memory functions in adults by upwards of 40%. The improvement of neuronal transmission, the process by which information is transferred between cells in the brain, by consuming niacin may also be effective in restoring other cognitive functions important to adequate health.
