Vitamin B3 deficiency and pregnancy

Inadequate intake of vitamin B3 during pregnancy may increase the risk of birth defects.

Vitamin B3 deficiency is a potential risk factor for congenital malformations.

People usually get enough vitamin B3 from their food. For women, 14 milligrams a day is recommended.

Inadequate intake of vitamin B3, or niacin, during pregnancy may increase the risk of birth defects. Vitamin B3 is found in fish, meat and nuts, among other things, but is also found in whole grains and legumes.

Based on the results, children of mothers receiving vitamin B3 deficiency were 14% more likely to have birth defects than children with adequate maternal B3 intake.

Findings suggest that B3 deficiency predisposes to congenital malformations, but In addition to vitamin B3, other factors may have affected the results. Further research should be used to confirm the results.
