Niacinamide Products (Powder)

Niacinamide, also called nicotinamide, is a form of niacin, or vitamin B3. The body uses niacin to make the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which participate in energy metabolism and many cellular reactions.

Use the serving size on the product label and measure carefully with the supplied tool or an appropriate scale. Do not assume that more is better, especially when other supplements also contain niacin.

Both are forms of vitamin B3, but they have different side-effect profiles. Niacinamide does not typically cause the skin flushing associated with nicotinic acid, although high supplemental intakes can still cause adverse effects.
