"If you’ve had a skin cancer check lately, you might have been told to consider
adding a daily vitamin B3 pill to your skin safety regime (hopefully, you
already use sunscreen, wear sun-smart clothes and avoid sun exposure in the
middle of the day).

So, what is this vitamin and why is it sometimes recommended as a way reduce
skin cancer risk?

Australia is the skin cancer capital of the world, where two-thirds of people
can expect to develop some form of skin cancer by retirement age. It is the
most common type of cancer and also exerts the costliest burden on the
health-care system. Anything that can help minimise the burden of skin cancer
is worth considering."
