What it is

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

Why it's used

Niacin is added to foods as a nutrient to fortify them, helping consumers meet their daily requirements. It is commonly found in enriched grain products such as bread, pasta, and cereals. Manufacturers add it to increase the nutritional value of these staple foods.

Health notes

Niacin is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The National Academies have established a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for niacin. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated niacin. At typical dietary intake levels, niacin is safe and plays a vital role in metabolism.

Allergen info

Niacin itself is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens, nor does it contain gluten. It is not derived from any of these allergens.
