Vitamin B3
Energy & DNA Repair
What it does
Niacin helps power the chemistry that converts food into energy and keeps your cells' DNA-repair machinery stocked. It's a building block for two molecules (NAD and NADP) that hundreds of reactions in your body depend on every second. Most people get enough from food, but the body's demand for it rises with metabolic stress.
The science
Essential for the systemic conversion of food into energy, acting as a vital precursor to NAD+ to support genomic stability and robust metabolic health.
Most relevant for
General energy metabolism. High-dose niacin for cholesterol should only be taken under medical supervision.
