What does it do?

Nicotinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the vitamin B3 family. It is mainly used in the body as a precursor for coenzymes necessary for energy production and maintenance of cellular function. In pharmaceuticals, it is used for the prevention and supplementation of vitamin deficiency.

Nicotinamide is converted in the body into coenzymes NAD and NADP, which are involved in energy metabolism and intracellular redox reactions. This helps facilitate metabolism and supports skin and nervous system health.
