Vitamins support the body’s ability to make and break down natural substances (metabolism) and are needed for good health. Niacinamide/nicotinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 used to prevent and treat niacin deficiency (pellagra).
Niacin deficiency can cause a number of medical conditions that can include diarrhea, confusion, tongue redness/swelling, and peeling red skin.
Niacin deficiency may happen as a result of poor diet, certain medical conditions such as alcohol abuse, malabsorption syndrome, or long-term use of certain medications such as isoniazid.
