Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) Health Benefits:

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), also known as nicotinamide, is a water-soluble B vitamin that is a component of coenzyme I (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD) and coenzyme II (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, NADP). It is a form of vitamin B3 that plays an important biological role in the body.

Discovered in the 17th century by the English chemist Joseph Priceley in the bark of a tree that no longer exists. He discovered that this bark could treat skin diseases and wounds, and that this healing effect could be explained by niacinamide. In the late 18th century, some of the properties of nicotinamide were further understood. In the early 1900s, scientists conducted numerous studies on the chemical composition of nicotinamide. These studies revealed the structure of the nicotinamide molecule and the role it plays in the body.

In nature, it is found primarily in the outer layers of grains, yeast, peanuts, meat, animal organ offal, milk, and green leafy vegetables. It can be synthesized from tryptophan in the body, but with very low efficiency. Niacin can be synthesized by Escherichia coli and other bacteria in the intestines and then converted to niacinamide.

Production technology description:

●The main methods of synthesizing nicotinamide include chemical and biological methods. Chemical methods mainly include the synthesis of nicotinic acid from 3-methylpyridine and the synthesis of nicotinamide from nicotinic acid. The biological method is mainly through the reaction of 3-methylpyridine catalyzed by microorganisms to produce 3-cyanopyridine, and then 3-cyanopyridine is hydrolyzed to obtain nicotinamide.
