They are an integral part of B complexes. The key difference between vitamin B3 and B12 is that vitamin B3 is important in controlling cholesterol and triglyceride levels in our blood, whereas vitamin B12 is important as a cofactor in DNA synthesis for both fatty acid and amino acid metabolism.
Dr. Bhanu Suggests...
Take a ALLERGY FOOD PANEL (NON VEG) Test or Take a CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS IGM Test
