Description
What Is Niacinamide?
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is the active amide form of Vitamin B3, a water-soluble vitamin essential for human health. It is naturally present in various foods, including meat, dairy, green vegetables, and grains. Furthermore, the human body can synthesize small amounts of niacinamide in the liver from the amino acid tryptophan, although dietary intake or topical application is often necessary to maintain optimal levels.
