Food Grade Vitamin B3 - Essential Niacin for Health Supplement Formulations
Introduction to Niacin Technology
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) represents a critical component of human metabolism, existing in two primary forms - nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. Our food-grade niacin meets stringent international standards, offering manufacturers a versatile nutrient powder with exceptional stability and bioavailability. This high-purity ingredient serves as the precursor for NAD/NADP coenzymes involved in over 400 biochemical reactions, making it indispensable for addressing pellagra prevention, cardiovascular health, and energy metabolism support in modern nutritional formulations.
