nicotinamide
Niacin-derived cell nutrient
Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3, also called niacinamide.
It's found in food and used in supplements and skincare products.
Unlike niacin, another form of B3, nicotinamide doesn't cause flushing.
In biochemistry, it's a component of NAD and NADP, coenzymes essential for cellular metabolism.
