Reduce blood pressure
A recent study found that vitamin B3 helped to reduce levels of a molecule that is linked to high blood pressure. It helps to reduce blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and improving circulation. It also helps to prevent heart disease and stroke. (5)
While more research is needed to confirm these findings, it is possible that vitamin B3 could be a helpful treatment for high blood pressure in the future. If you are interested in trying this vitamin to lower your blood pressure, speak to your doctor about whether it is right for you
