Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide)
Vitamin B3 Nicotinamide, also known as Niacinamide, is a water-soluble amide form of vitamin B3. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and DNA repair by serving as a precursor for coenzymes NAD and NADP. Nicotinamide is preferred in many pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications due to its stability and lower side-effect profile compared to niacin. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food fortification.
