A study by researchers at the University of Missouri found that taking a popular vitamin supplement may contribute to risks of brain cancer.
The vitamin, called nicotinamide riboside, or NR for short, is a variant of B3. Taking the nutritional pill may lead to increased chances of breast cancer and brain metastasis, according to the study‘s results. Metastasis is when cancer cells spread through the body, causing multiple tumorous growths beyond an initial location.
I couldn't access the study through that link but I found a summary here in case anyone is interested. showme.missouri.edu/2022/st.... It is an animal study - rats? which shows that nicotinamide riboside "has the potential to increase the prevalence of a particular form of cancer and its metastasis to the brain" . Something to watch, I think. There may still a place for a good vitamin B complex.
