Niacinamide for Skin Protection?
Niacinamide for Skin Protection?
Be especially careful about sun exposure at high altitudes, in the snow, and on the beachNew research suggests that niacinamide (vitamin B3) has potential skin protection benefits. A study in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that people who took daily niacinamide reduced the number of actinic keratoses (precursors to skin cancer) on their skin by more than 30%.Niacinamide linked to fewer skin lesions
In this study, 76 healthy men and women (ages 48 to 90) who had at least four actinic keratoses were randomly assigned to receive 500 mg of niacinamide once daily or twice daily, or placebo for four months. All participants had skin examinations before the study and at two and four months.
Results showed that both niacinamide groups had about one-third fewer actinic keratoses at four months compared with the control group. The niacinamide group also had a lower risk of developing a new skin cancer lesion during the study period compared with the control group (11 placebo participants developed 20 new skin cancers and 2 niacinamide participants developed 4 cancers).
It isn't exactly clear how niacinamide may help prevent lesions that may lead to skin cancer, but the study authors comment that niacinamide may help repair damaged DNA and help boost our immune system. They report that niacinamide is "highly immune protective in humans" and has been shown to prevent cancer in mice. Further research is needed about dosages and safety. Higher doses of niacinamide than those used in this study have been linked to a risk of liver damage.
Always talk with a doctor before starting a supplement to understand more about the risks and benefits.
Steps toward skin protection
Skin cancer is a common type of cancer, but the good news is that there are things we can do to help prevent them. Experts recommend these and other steps for protecting your skin:
- Enjoy the sun but don't overdo it. Avoid sunburns and blistering.
- Avoid the sun and seek shade during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM).
- Wear sunscreen and reapply as needed.
- Wear a hat and sunglasses and consider other protective clothing-even long sleeves and pants.
- Be especially careful about sun exposure at high altitudes, in the snow, and on the beach.
- Have your skin checked regularly by a doctor.
- Ask a doctor how to examine your own skin and what to look for in terms of suspicious moles or growths that could be cancer or turn into cancer

Comments about NNF Now® Almond Oil:
I use this on my hair after my shower and it's helped to lock in the moisture and keep my hair from being frizzy. I'm a little disappointed that there is no scent, but it's a minor disappointment. I found that this was a little heavier oil feeling on my skin however I do use a drop under my eyes. It's great for wrinkles and it soaks in quickly so there's no need to rub.

This is a nice multi-purpose oil. I mix a few drops with my moisturizer and my skin does feel softer. I also use it as a hair oil, and massage oil for the baby. It is non-greasy, quick absorbing, and the best part I like about it is that it is fragrance free.

Comments about NNF Now® Almond Oil:
I adore this stuff! Got some earlier this week and it works beautifully. Conditions my skin better than high dollar moisturizers that I have used in the past. A little bit goes a long way so the 16 fluid ounce bottle I purchased from GNC for [$] I expect will last quite a while. It seems to be all I need on my face and I agree with the product claims that it does not clog pores. For use on my body I found that using my regular lotion first and then following up with the almond oil locks in my lotion and makes it work even better than before. Since it is unscented I can use all of my favorite [@] scented lotions and the almond oil does not clash. I <3 it!
