Niacinamide Skin Health and Benefits

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide and nicotinic amide, is the biosynthesized form of niacin, commonly known as vitamin B3. Both forms provide the same vitamin functions, although niacinamide doesn’t cause the flushing that niacin does. Niacin normally enters the body through dietary sources, which is then converted into niacinamide. The primary biochemical uses of niacinamide are the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which are enzymes in a variety of oxidation-reduction reactions.

The most important dietary sources of niacin are animal proteins. Many nuts and mushrooms also contain significant levels of niacin. The best plant sources of niacin include dates, avocados and tomatoes. Many foods are also supplemented with niacin, especially cereal products. Pure niacinamide is commercially produced from 3-cyanopyridine, commonly known as nicotinonitrile.

Niacin was discovered in 1873, although its role as an essential nutrient for humans wasn’t established until 1937. Both niacin and niacinamide are commonly taken as dietary supplements, primarily for their nutritional value. A commonly used daily requirement for niacin is 14 mg/day for women and 16 mg/day for men. A daily intake above 35 mg/day may cause flushing. Niacinamide also provides specific benefits that are generally related to to help support healthy inflammation management, especially for skin conditions.

Uses of Niacinamide

The primary use of niacinamide supplements is to support healthy levels of vitamin B3. It is also taken to support many other cellular functions.
