What it is

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in metabolism. It is found naturally in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and grains. Niacin can also be produced synthetically for use as a food additive.

Why it's used

Niacin is often added to foods as a nutrient supplement to help fortify them. It is commonly found in enriched grain products such as breads, cereals, and pasta. It may also be added to beverages and snack foods.

Health notes

Niacin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated niacin and established acceptable daily intakes. At typical dietary levels, niacin is essential for health. High doses, usually from supplements, can cause side effects like skin flushing.
