A precursor to NAD+, the coenzyme central to energy production and DNA repair across every cell. The nicotinamide form supports skin barrier function and metabolic health without the flushing of nicotinic acid.
Why this form
Nicotinamide delivers all of the metabolic and NAD+-supporting benefits of niacin without the vasodilatory flushing effect of nicotinic acid — making it suitable for daily use at therapeutic doses.
Key benefits
NAD+ production & cellular energy
Nicotinamide is a direct precursor to NAD+ and NADP+, the coenzymes that act as electron carriers in virtually every energy-producing reaction in the cell. NAD+ levels decline with age, making precursor supply increasingly relevant.
DNA repair
NAD+ is consumed by PARP enzymes during DNA repair and by sirtuins — proteins that regulate gene expression and metabolic health in response to stress and caloric status.
Skin barrier & metabolic health
Nicotinamide supports the synthesis of ceramides and other lipids that form the skin's moisture barrier, and contributes to normal glucose metabolism.
