Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3, also known as vitamin B3 complex is a family of vitamins that includes nicotinamide (niacinamide), niacin (nicotinic acid), and nicotinamide riboside.[1][2][3] All three forms of vitamin B3 are converted within the body to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD).[3] NAD is required for human life and people are unable to make it within their bodies without one of the vitamin B3 or tryptophan.[3] Nicotinamide riboside was identified as a form of vitamin B3 in 2004.[3]
