To have a complement portfolio of different vitamins, BTC offers you a wide range of the water-soluble B-vitamins. Besides dietary supplements vitamin B3 is also used for food fortification. 

Physiological importance

Vitamin B3 acts as the electron donor or acceptor in many biological redox reactions.

Consequences of a vitamin B3 deficiency

Deficiency symptoms only develop if the diet is niacin-deficient, if the dietary niacin has poor bioavailability (e.g. with maize as a staple diet) or if the diet is low in tryptophan. Pellagra is the best-known disease caused by niacin deficiency.
