Scientists have named the vitamin that protects against superinfections

Superinfections are bacteria that develop resistance to known to mankind antibiotics. In the future, they can pose a serious threat. But vitamin B3 (niacin or nicotinic acid) can help.

Scientists have created a drug based on vitamin B3 that has shown excellent properties in the fight against superinfections.

In a laboratory experiment on mice, researchers have shown that nicotinic acid enhances immune response 1000 times, such an effect can protect the body not only from coronavirus, but also from superinfections.

The therapeutic potential of vitamin B3 is still being explored, but we know that niacin renders the body immune to, for example, Staphylococcus aureus. It is likely that loading doses of vitamin B3 can even stop the progression of HIV infection.
