Vitamin B3, molecular model
Vitamin B3, molecular model. The chemical formula for vitamin B3, also called niacin or nicotinic acid, is C6.H5.N.O2. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (blue), hydrogen (gold), nitrogen (dark blue) and oxygen (red). Vitamin B3 is an essential nutrient that humans are unable to produce and so need to obtain from their diet. It is most concentrated in tuna, salmon, halibut, chicken, venison and asparagus. Vitamin B3 is needed to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in the body. Deficiency can lead to the disease pellegra, with symptoms including cracked and inflamed skin, a poor digestive system, diarrhoea and depression

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular model of Vitamin B3, also known as niacin or nicotinic acid. The chemical formula C6. H5. N. O2 is beautifully represented by color-coded spheres, with carbon in blue, hydrogen in gold, nitrogen in dark blue, and oxygen in red. Vitamin B3 is an indispensable nutrient that our bodies cannot produce naturally; hence we must obtain it through our diet. The importance of this vital compound lies in its role to break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins within our body. Found abundantly in tuna, salmon, halibut, chicken, venison, and asparagus; Vitamin B3 ensures optimal nutrition for a healthy lifestyle. However crucial it may be for human well-being when deficient pellegra can occur - a disease characterized by cracked and inflamed skin along with digestive issues like poor digestion system and diarrhea. Additionally, mental health can also be affected leading to depression. This stunning molecular structure serves as a reminder of the significance of biochemistry and dietary choices on our overall health. As a water-soluble vitamin belonging to the B complex family alongside other essential nutrients; Vitamin B3 plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining proper bodily functions. Let this mesmerizing image inspire us to appreciate the wonders of science while reminding us to prioritize a balanced diet rich in essential vitamins and nutrients for optimal well-being.
