What it is

Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, also known as niacin. It is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a role in energy production and cell metabolism. It can be synthesized from chemical precursors.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add niacinamide to foods as a nutrient to fortify them, helping consumers meet their daily vitamin B3 needs. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, bread, pasta, and energy drinks.

Health notes

Niacinamide is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The National Academies have established an upper intake level for niacin to prevent potential side effects like skin flushing. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated niacin and its derivatives, establishing acceptable daily intakes. At typical dietary levels, niacinamide is well-tolerated and essential for health.

Allergen info

Niacinamide is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens and does not contain gluten.
