Vitamin B3-or niacin-is a small molecule made of only fourteen atoms, smaller even than the simplest sugar. But this one molecule has profound effects on health: it plays a role in more than five hundred reactions in the body. Many illnesses are caused by too little niacin, and many illnesses can be cured with high doses of niacin.

The updated and expanded second edition features:

• Detailed recommendations on the forms and therapeutic doses of niacin
• Updated information on niacin side effects and safety
• The most effective ways to use niacin for arthritis, learning and behavioral disorders, mental illness, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions

In this groundbreaking second edition, the most prominent minds in orthomolecular medicine return with an expanded discussion of the widespread use of niacin for the prevention and treatment of health problems.
