Nicotinamide (Niacin) is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for many aspects of health, growth, and reproduction. It may preserve and improve beta cell function. It is part of the vitamin B Complex (B3) and is necessary for circulation and healthy skin. It is also important to nervous system function, improvements of the digestive system, and stabilizing cholesterol levels.
Niacin in large doses lowers serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and triglycerides. High doses increase serum levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. It helps metabolize protein, sugar & fat, reduces high blood pressure and prevents pellagra.
Nicotinamide, unlike nicotinic acid, does not have significant effects on lipids, but can be useful for some with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. It might help with generalized granuloma annular and osteoarthritis.
