Learning & education: Vitamin B3
In this article, we break down what recent science reveals about vitamin B3, its role in supporting brain energy, and whether it truly impacts cognitive performance.
You’ve probably heard vitamin B3 described as the nutrient that “boosts your cellular energy.” It sounds catchy, but it’s not quite true. B3 doesn’t act like caffeine or flip a switch in your mitochondria. What it actually does is support NAD⁺, a molecule your cells rely on to produce energy in the first place.
