Description

Nicotinamide, also known as niacinamide, is a vital form of vitamin B3 essential for cellular metabolism and energy production. This water-soluble compound is prized for its stability and versatility across high-value industries. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and premium personal care sectors seeking reliable, high-purity ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in the production of vitamin B-complex supplements and as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for treating pellagra and other niacin-deficiency conditions.
• Nutraceuticals & Functional Foods: Incorporated into dietary supplements, fortified beverages, and food products to support energy metabolism and overall wellness.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: A key active in serums, creams, and lotions for its anti-inflammatory, skin-barrier strengthening, and brightening properties.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Grade): An essential vitamin additive in premixes for poultry, swine, and aquaculture to support growth and health.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a precursor for coenzymes NAD and NADP in laboratory research and diagnostic reagent manufacturing.
• Industrial Applications: Used in electroplating solutions and as a stabilizer in certain polymer and photographic processes.
