Description
Product Overview
Nicotinamide, also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid amide, is an amide of niacin (vitamin B3/nicotinic acid). Niacin and nicotinamide are both precursors of coenzymes NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). Nicotinamide exists mainly as a white crystalline powder form, soluble in water and ethanol. Depending on the dose, nicotinamide has different effects on lipid profiles and lipoproteins. NAD+ and NADP+ are coenzymes in a number of important enzyme reactions.
Application
