Niacin is a water soluble B vitamin whose main role is to serve as a precursor for two essential biochemical coenzymes, NAD and NADP.* These two cofactors participate in virtually every aspect of energy production and other metabolic processes.* Niacin coenzymes help the cell use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to produce energy and are critical for DNA replication and repair.* Inositol hexanicotinate is a stable, non-flushing source of niacin. This superior source of niacin works to reduce the common “niacin-flush” associated with high dose niacin supplements.
