Did you know a simple vitamin can help protect your skin?
Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) has been shown to reduce the risk of common skin cancers (BCC and SCC) and prevent sun spots — especially in people who’ve had them before.
Vitamin B3 helps your skin repair itself, supports healthy immune function in sun-exposed skin, and lowers the chance of new cancers developing while you’re taking it.
Studies show that taking 500mg Vitamin B3 twice daily can:
• Reduce new BCCs and SCCs by ~20–30%
• Reduce sun spots by up to 35%
Important: Vitamin B3 doesn’t replace sunscreen — it works best alongside sun protection.
Talk with Dr Rod or another member of the SSCC team about whether Vitamin B3 could help support your skin health.
