Benefits

Nicotinamide is a preferable form of Vitamin B3. Vitamin B3 is a water‑soluble vitamin responsible for helping convert food into cellular energy. It also supports DNA repair, maintains healthy skin and nerves, and helps regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels. We use nicotinamide rather than niacin, since niacin can trigger flushing - a temporary warmth, redness, and tingling of the skin caused by blood vessels widening.
