Impact of Microbes and Vitamins on Modern Medicine

The growth of medical science was never smooth and linear. While the 1880s saw Koch’s postulates lead to the rapid discovery of most bacterial causes of disease, the 1930s witnessed the identification of deficiency diseases. In the 5,000-year history of medical science, no two decades have had such a profound impact on modern medicine.

Vitamin B3 and Sleep disturbance

“Vitamin B3, a vital nutrient, plays a crucial role in overall health and well-being. Interestingly, its biochemical pathways intersect with the synthesis of two key neurotransmitters: serotonin and melatonin. These hormones are essential for regulating sleep and mood. While a direct link between vitamin B3 deficiency and sleep or mood disorders isn’t established, disruptions in these interconnected pathways can potentially contribute to sleep disturbances and mood fluctuations.”
