Vitamina B3 (Nicotinamide) > per integratori alimentari
To have a complement portfolio of different vitamins, BTC offers you a wide range of the water-soluble B-vitamins. Vitamin B3 is for example often used in a B-vitamin-complex with other B-vitamins.
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.
