Niacinamide Pyridoxine Hydrochloride

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, also known as nicotinamide. Pyridoxine hydrochloride is a form of vitamin B6. Both are water-soluble vitamins essential for human health. They are typically produced synthetically for use in food and supplements.

These ingredients are added to foods as nutrients to fortify them, helping consumers meet their daily vitamin requirements. They are commonly found in breakfast cereals, baked goods like pastries and muffins, and instant oatmeal, where they are incorporated during the manufacturing process.

Niacinamide and pyridoxine hydrochloride are widely used as food additives and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for their intended purpose. They play vital roles in metabolism and nerve function. Both vitamins have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA. While essential in small amounts, very high doses of vitamin B6 can cause nerve issues, but this is rarely seen from food sources alone.
