Nicotinic acid(Cat No.: A000437 ), also known as niacin or vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for energy metabolism and the functioning of nervous and digestive systems. It plays a crucial role in the conversion of food into energy and is involved in the synthesis of NAD and NADP, which are vital coenzymes in cellular processes. Nicotinic acid is used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Deficiency can lead to pellagra, characterized by skin, digestive, and mental symptoms.
