One vitamin known to help open blood vessels and improve circulation is Vitamin B3, also called Niacin.
How Niacin Helps Circulation
- Vasodilation: Niacin causes blood vessels to widen (dilate), improving blood flow
- Lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises good cholesterol (HDL), which supports cardiovascular health
- Helps reduce atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries)
Important Notes
- Niacin can cause a “flush”—a warm, tingling, red sensation on the skin shortly after taking it—due to blood vessel dilation
- High doses should only be taken under medical supervision because of possible side effects, including liver stress
- Found naturally in foods like chicken, tuna, turkey, peanuts, and fortified cereals
If you want, I can suggest:
- Food sources rich in niacin
- Safe supplement doses
- Other vitamins and nutrients that support circulation
Just ask!
