nicotinamides
Cellular energy cofactors
Nicotinamides are forms of vitamin B3, essential for cellular energy production and DNA repair.
The most common is nicotinamide (also called niacinamide), found in foods and supplements.
These compounds participate in metabolic reactions throughout the body: Nicotinamides are often added to skincare products for their anti-inflammatory properties.
