Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 (niacin). This water-soluble vitamin cannot be stored in the body, which is why you need to obtain it through food. Although it is found in many animal and plant foods, the content is usually low.
Niacinamide plays an essential role as a component of enzymes in over 200 metabolic processes. It supports the conversion of nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins into usable energy. Furthermore, niacinamide is involved in the energy metabolism of skin cells and promotes the regeneration of skin and mucous membranes. Likewise, niacinamide is important for the normal functioning of the nervous system and contributes to mental health.
Niacinamide has a different chemical structure compared to niacin and does not trigger the so-called "flush effect" that niacin can cause. Niacinamide from Allvital contains 500 mg per capsule and is very well tolerated despite the high dosage.
