Niacinamide

Thorne Niacinamide provides one form of vitamin B3, also known as nicotinamide. It is used for cellular protection and antioxidant support.

Niacinamide acts as an antioxidant, inhibiting free radical formation, and has been shown to promote pancreatic beta-cell regeneration.

Niacinamide has been found to stimulate GABA (an inhibitory neurotransmitter) receptors without binding to the receptor sites, thus creating a sedative-like effect.

High amounts of niacinamide have been documented as being beneficial in protecting joint cartilage cells.

Niacinamide has also been used in support of several dermatological conditions.
