Symptoms such as fatigue, dementia, diarrhea, and skin problems like dermatitis may indicate a deficiency in Vitamin B3 (niacin). Severe deficiency is associated with pellagra, a condition characterized by the “three Ds” — dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia.
The Vitamin B3 Test measures niacin levels in the blood, helping detect deficiencies that may arise from poor nutrition, chronic alcoholism, or certain medical conditions. Identifying low niacin levels is important for diagnosing pellagra or milder forms of deficiency.
Monitoring Vitamin B3 status enables healthcare providers to recommend dietary adjustments or supplementation, ensuring proper energy metabolism, nervous system function, and overall well-being.
