What it is

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for human health. It occurs naturally in foods like meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables. Industrially, it can be synthesized from chemical precursors.

Why it's used

Niacin is added to foods as a nutrient to help fortify them and prevent deficiencies. It is commonly found in enriched grains, cereals, and other processed foods to boost their nutritional value.

Health notes

Niacin is recognized as an essential nutrient by the FDA. The National Academies have established a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for niacin. Both the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated niacin. High doses of niacin, typically from supplements rather than food, can cause side effects like skin flushing.

Allergen info

Niacin itself is not a major allergen and is not related to gluten.
