Why supplement?
Marked asPrimarySupporting
Supports cellular energy metabolism
Niacinamide refills NAD via salvage; glycolysis and DNA-repair PARP both consume this coenzyme pool. Most B-complex tablets use the amide form. People who need B3 energy production and want face and neck to keep an ordinary color in meetings more often come to this molecule.
Improve the skin barrier
Stratum corneum ceramide synthesis and epidermal-cell energy both connect to NAD. Topical niacinamide is common in moisturizing formulas; oral use refills the whole-body coenzyme pool. For dry flaking and a weak barrier that also needs B3, this amide joins skin care and cellular energy production on the same molecule.
Which symptoms may ease?
Fatigue
Niacinamide refills NAD via salvage; glycolysis and DNA-repair PARP both consume this coenzyme pool. People who cannot get going by day and feel foggy in the afternoon more often notice stamina for tasks and mental freshness after several continuous weeks.
Dry skin
Stratum corneum ceramide synthesis and epidermal-cell energy both connect to NAD. People whose calves or cheeks feel tight and flaky more often notice moisture and less itch after several continuous weeks.
Which conditions may it support?
Pellagra
Niacinamide refills NAD via salvage; glycolysis and DNA-repair PARP both consume this coenzyme pool. When exposed skin reddens and flakes and gut and mood move together, people more often notice skin and spirits after several continuous weeks.
Dyslipidaemia
Niacinamide refills NAD via salvage; glycolysis and DNA-repair PARP both consume this coenzyme pool. People with high fasting lipids and an oily diet more often notice lab markers and a lighter body after several continuous weeks.

What to watch
Cautions
High-dose niacin for lipids must be prescribed and monitored by a clinician.
People with liver disease, peptic ulcer, or diabetes should ask a clinician before high doses.
Interactions
- Lipid-lowering drugs / statins (additive liver risk with high-dose niacin)
- Glucose-lowering drugs (may affect glucose control)
· Niacin flush, burning, or itching
· Nausea or stomach discomfort
· Long-term high doses may cause liver injury and raised blood sugar.
Long-term dependenceNot addictive; flushing from high doses may lessen with tolerance, but that does not mean you should raise the dose on your own.
