it said a on therapys that b5 could help but then it also said this at the end,im confused?

vitamin B3 (1 g three times per day) -- Nicotinamide (a form of niacin, or vitamin B3) may make a photosensitive reaction less likely. In a pilot study, it reduced reactions among people with polymorphous light eruptions. Vitamin B3 is an antioxidant, so it may be providing protection in the same way other antioxidants might. You should take this high a dose of vitamin B3 only under a doctor's supervision because of the risk of side effects such as flushing and liver damage

Im confused....
