Niacin, or Vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin produced via microbial fermentation or chemical synthesis. Its molecular formula is C6H5NO2 with CAS number 59-67-6. It serves as a precursor for NAD and NADP coenzymes essential in cellular metabolism.
High doses may cause cutaneous flushing and hepatotoxicity; storage requires cool, dry conditions away from moisture to prevent degradation.
