📦 Product Overview

🧠 What Does Niacinamide Do in the Body?

Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, is essential for producing NAD+, a coenzyme required for cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair. Unlike niacin, niacinamide doesn’t cause flushing, making it a gentler option for long-term use.

Niacinamide plays a key role in:

• Maintaining healthy skin cells 
• Reducing inflammation 
• Improving insulin sensitivity
