Nicotinamide Capsules (Vit B3)
Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that does not cause the flushing reaction associated with nicotinic acid. It is an essential nutrient involved in cellular energy production, DNA repair, and skin health. Nicotinamide is the preferred form for therapeutic use when flushing is undesirable. Nicotinamide, NAD+ precursorSupports cellular energy production through NAD+ synthesis Promotes healthy skin barrier function and reduces inflammation in acne and rosacea Provides neuroprotection and supports DNA repair mechanisms Nicotinamide is converted to NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), essential for redox reactions in metabolism activates sirtuins involved in aging and cellular repair inhibits PARP-1 preventing NAD+ depletion reduces inflammatory cytokines in skin. Traditional use through dietary sources (meat, fish, grains) medicinal use since the 1930s for pellagra prevention skin applications recognized in dermatology for decades. Acne vulgaris, rosacea, skin aging prevention, pellagra prevention, neuroprotection, metabolic syndrome support, DNA repair enhancement. Well-absorbed orally topical absorption also effective does not require conversion to NAD+ via same pathway as nicotinic acid no flushing effect due to lack of prostaglandin activation. Pairs with zinc (acne synergy), resveratrol (sirtuin activation), CoQ10 (mitochondrial support), topical retinoids (skin health). Take with meals consistent daily use for skin benefits topical application as cream or serum avoid high doses long-term without medical supervision. Generally safe high doses may cause hepatotoxicity (rare avoid >3g daily long-term) no flushing side effect caution in liver disease safe for topical use. Look for pharmaceutical grade, USP specification, non-GMO, heavy metal testing, third-party purity certification, free-flowing Capsules.
