Vitamin B3 (Niacin) and Life span Increasing

Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

According to the study of "Niacin-bound chromium increases life span in Zucker Fatty Rats" by
Preuss HG, Echard B, Clouatre D, Bagchi D, Perricone NV., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers indicated that despite similar beneficial effects on the glucose and blood pressure systems, a difference in aging was also found when the NBC (niacin-bound chromium) group was compared to the formula group. When all rats in the other two groups had died, four in the NBC group continued to live at least a month longer. We attribute lack of a similar aging effect in the formula group to either lower dosing of NBC and/or that various ingredients in the formula counteracted the antiaging effect(s) of NBC.
