Niacin (Vitamin B3) is a cornerstone ingredient across the feed, food, and pharmaceutical industries.*

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3 or Nicotinic Acid, is one of the most versatile and widely used B vitamins in the food, feed, and pharmaceutical industries. As a specialized supplier of human nutrition and animal health ingredients, Henan Liyin Biotech offers high-quality Niacin in multiple grades to meet the diverse needs of global buyers.

This guide covers everything you need to know when sourcing Niacin in bulk.

What Is Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin (Vitamin B3) is a water-soluble vitamin available in white crystalline powder form for bulk industrial use.

Niacin (CAS 59-67-6, Molecular Formula C6H5NO2) is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in energy metabolism. It is a key component of coenzymes NAD and NADP, which are involved in over 400 enzymatic reactions in the body, including:

- Conversion of food into energy
- DNA repair and cell signaling
- Synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol
- Antioxidant protection

Niacin exists in two main forms: **Nicotinic Acid** and **Niacinamide (Nicotinamide)**. While both forms deliver vitamin B3 activity, they differ in their physiological effects — Nicotinic Acid is known for its cholesterol-lowering benefits, while Niacinamide is preferred for applications where the "niacin flush" is undesirable.
