Vitamin b3 / niacin

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 used to produce the coenzymes NAD and NADP. These molecules participate in numerous reactions involved in cellular energy and metabolism.

It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, nervous-system function and maintenance of healthy skin.

In everyday life, Vitamin B3 / Niacin helps power cellular energy pathways while supporting healthy skin, normal nervous-system function and everyday vitality.

Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.

Ingredient overview

What it is

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 used to produce the coenzymes NAD and NADP. These molecules participate in numerous reactions involved in cellular energy and metabolism.

  • Scientific identity: Vitamin B3 / Niacin; form supplied: Niacinamide, the non-flushing amide.
  • How it works: Supplied as niacinamide: The amide form is used here because it does not trigger the temporary skin flush that nicotinic acid can cause in quantity. Absorbed readily: Uptake from the small intestine is efficient at ordinary amounts.
  • Primary function: It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, nervous-system function and maintenance of healthy skin.
  • What it supports: Vitamin B3 / Niacin helps power cellular energy pathways while supporting healthy skin, normal nervous-system function and everyday vitality.
  • Important consideration: Its nutritional contribution depends on the amount provided and overall dietary intake.
