While vitamin B12 tends to get the spotlight, vitamin B3 is often overlooked. It is a nutrient critical for proper mitochondrial energy production and basic metabolic processes. If it is contained in a multivitamin, it is under-dosed while other nutrients best acquired from food are overdosed.
Niacinamide is a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is involved in a multitude of intra- and inter-cellular processes, which regulate some of the cell's metabolic, stress, and immune responses to physiological or pathological signals.
Niacinamide is readily converted into the active forms of niacin: NAD+, NADH and NADPH, which are co-factors in cellular energy production, help to maintain DNA stability, and allow over 200 enzymatic reactions to take place.
Once niacinamide is converted into NAD+ it acts as the buffer for cells to regulate the aging process. NAD+ levels tend to drop with age and consistently decline. When we are young, our cells have an abundance of NAD+.
NAD+ regulation by supplementing with niacinamide is known to be a key compound in the anti-aging research arena. David Sinclair, the scientist most people think of when it relates to aging, uses another form of niacinamide known as NMN to support this. Inevitably NMN does the same thing as niacinamide, but it is more marketable for his research.
NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which is a key enzyme that allows the production of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, cellular energy. Niacinamide has been investigated for potential neuroprotective effects in cellular, animal, and human studies.
BENEFITS
BENEFITS
- Increases mitochondrial energy production

Niacinamide is an anti-inflammatory vitamin that has proven to be beneficial for conditions such as acne, rosacea, dermatitis, skin photo-aging, age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and for ischaemic and traumatic brain injury. If the foundation of balanced nutrition is in place (no diets), then supplementing the right form of vitamin B3 may help to decrease fatigue and support mitochondrial ATP production.
