A new study by a team of scientists from New York and Lausanne has shown that small doses of a recently discovered vitamin similar to B3 in milk make rodents stronger, faster, healthier, reduce the tendency to obesity, diabetes, chronic disease, even with an unbalanced diet.. However, it is not yet clear if this vitamin has a similar effect in humans..

High doses of nicotinamide riboside not only helped mice avoid obesity even on a fatty diet (on average, mice treated with the vitamin were 60 percent lighter than non-vitaminated mice on the same diet), but also increased their muscle performance, endurance, energy expenditure, and prevented the development of diabetes..

“For animals, the vitamin nicotinamide riboside is of great benefit.. It improves mitochondrial function. After all, the main sign of many diseases is a decrease in mitochondrial activity, which is equally true for the aging of the body, ”says pharmacologist Anthony Sauve.

Testing the vitamin on mice showed its high efficiency, but how can it affect humans? Scientists still find it difficult to answer this question, methods for artificially creating a large amount of this vitamin are only being developed..

However, it should be noted that the level of this vitamin in milk is extremely low, therefore only synthesized nicotinamide riboside can have a significant effect..
