Default Nicotinamide

Niacin (Nicotinic acid) has no vitamin B3 activity itself but is able to form Nicotinamide in the body. It is prone to cause side effects.

Nicotinamide is the active form of vitamin B3, is not prone to cause side effects and is able to form NADH.

They do this via the following pathway :

Niacin >>> Nicotinamide >>> NMN >>> NAD >>> NADH
