Nicotinamide details
What Nicotinamide shows
Nicotinamide, also called niacinamide, is one of the forms of vitamin B3. Your body uses it to make NAD and NADP, coenzymes needed for turning food into energy and for many other chemical reactions in cells. It comes from foods such as meat, fish, whole grains and legumes, and your body can also make it from the amino acid tryptophan. This test measures nicotinamide in serum to help look at vitamin B3 status. A low result can point to low intake or poor absorption, while a higher result often reflects supplements or fortified foods. It is interpreted alongside the other B3 forms measured, your diet and any supplements.
