Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) Health Benefits:

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid), also known as niacin and anti-mange factor, also includes its derivative niacinamide or nicotinamide in the human body. It is one of the 13 essential vitamins and is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the group of B vitamins. Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) has the simplest structure and most stable physicochemical properties of all vitamins and is not easily affected by metal ions, acids, bases, or oxidizing agents.

In 1867, the German chemist Huber made this vitamin from nicotine extracted from tobacco, and in 1915, the American biochemist Conrad Elvehjem discovered niacin, took some natural foods, separated them and extracted the substance. Eventually, they succeeded in isolating a substance that could prevent and treat black tongue disease, which they named "niacin," and in 1929, the correct structure of niacin was determined by the British chemist R. D. Compton. Later, scientists discovered the important role of niacin in the human body. Since then, research on the isolation, structure, and physiological effects of niacin has been widely conducted, making the application of niacin more and more extensive.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) is found mainly in animal organs and muscle tissue, and is also present in trace amounts in fruits and egg yolks.

Production technology description:

●There are three main methods for obtaining nicotinic acid: extraction, biosynthesis, and chemical synthesis.Initially, nicotinic acid was synthesized industrially by oxidation of nicotine, but later most of them were synthesized by chemical or electrochemical oxidation using quinoline, 2-methyl-5-ethylpyridine and 3-methylpyridine and other alkylpyridines as raw materials. From the classification of synthesis methods, it is generally divided into reagent oxidation method using nitric acid, potassium permanganate and so on as oxidizing agents, ammonia oxidation method using ammonia and air as oxidizing agents, direct air oxidation method, electrolytic oxidation method, bioconversion method and pyridinium hydroxylation method and so on.

▶ Strengthens the immune system

▶ Improves skin health

▶ Food field

▶ Pharmaceutical field

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) is used as a medicine for skin diseases and similar vitamin deficiencies, and has the effect of dilating small blood vessels, lowering blood lipids, reducing cholesterol synthesis, and dissolving fibrin. Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate for the synthesis of a variety of amide and ester drugs with important pharmaceutical applications.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) Applications:

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) is mainly used as an antioxidant and nutrient fortifier in foods, which helps to retard the oxidation process of foods, maintain the freshness and flavor of foods, and improve the nutritional value of foods. Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) is widely used as an additive in bakery products, dairy products, cornstarch, etc.; niacin can also be used in combination with vitamins to replace some of the nitrites as a deodorizer or preservative for meat products, and in addition, niacin can be used as a preservative for vegetables.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) has a peripheral vasodilating effect and is indicated for the treatment of headaches and migraines and may lower triglyceride concentrations in the body to prevent and relieve pain.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) helps maintain normal immune system function and increases the body's resistance to disease.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) is essential for the metabolism of skin cells, which helps maintain skin hydration and improve problems such as dry skin, roughness, and acne. Niacin is one of the precursors that activate the body's coenzymes, which can repair cellular mitochondria, alleviate aging, and maintain the body's normal metabolism.

■ Most stable vitamin

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) is the most stable because it is not easily destroyed by acids, bases, light, oxygen, or heating. Nicotinic acid is a stable, white, needle-like crystal that belongs to the class of azacyclic pyridine derivatives, which are chemically very stable. The chemical properties of nicotinic acid further explain its stability. The data of melting point, boiling point, solubility and acidity coefficient of nicotinic acid show that nicotinic acid has good stability at room temperature.In addition, nicotinic acid is less susceptible to metal ions, acids and bases, and oxidizing agents, which further proves its stability.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B3 (Nicotinic acid) is an essential nutrient in the diet of pigs, chickens and other animals. Niacin is an indispensable substance for the growth and development of animals, niacin in grain feed is mainly in the form of bound state, it is difficult for animals to absorb it, so it is necessary to artificially add synthetic niacin to the feed.
