DESCRIPTION

Niacin tablets provide 100 mg of pure niacin in a scored

uncoated tablet which can be broken in half when lower

dosage is desired.

FUNCTIONS

Niacin (vitamin B3) occurs in the body as two metabolically

active coenzymes, NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)

and NADP (NAD phosphate). The niacin coenzymes NAD

and NADP have pervasive roles in energy-related and

biosynthetic metabolic processes. At least 200 enzymes

depend on these niacin cofactors. The NAD-dependent

enzymes are involved in mostly catabolic, oxidative reactions

that release energy from carbohydrate, fat and protein,

whereas the NADP-dependent enzymes more commonly

function in biosynthetic pathways of such compounds as fatty

acids and steroid hormones.

Independent of its functions as NAD or NADP, niacin is also

involved in the regulation of normal blood lipoprotein and

cholesterol levels.

Dietary niacin is generally well absorbed and taken up by the

liver which converts it to NAD and NADP. Any excess niacin

is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys.

INDICATIONS

Niacin tablets may be a useful nutritional adjunct for

individuals who wish to increase their intake of niacin.
