Uses and Functions

We are committed to establishing a global direct procurement system for plant raw materials, ensuring the high quality and authenticity of raw materials, while also striving to protect the sustainability and diversity of plant resources.

A.Participate in energy metabolism

Niacin is a crucial component of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). These two coenzymes play a pivotal role in the catabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, facilitating the conversion of food into cellular energy to sustain normal physiological functions.

B.Maintaining skin health

Niacin helps maintain the integrity of the skin barrier and promotes the metabolism of skin cells. Deficiency of niacin may lead to pellagra, with typical symptoms including dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. Topical application of nicotinamide, the amide form of niacin, contributes to improving skin barrier function, alleviating skin inflammation, and reducing hyperpigmentation.

C.Supports nervous system function

Niacin is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and is crucial for maintaining normal nervous system function. Adequate niacin levels help support cognitive function and emotional stability, while severe deficiency may impair neurological health, leading to symptoms such as mental confusion.

D.Regulate lipid levels

Pharmaceutical doses of niacin, also known as niacin derivatives, have lipid-regulating effects. They can reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides in the blood while increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. These agents are commonly used as adjunctive therapy for hyperlipidemia but must be administered under medical supervision.

E.Promote blood circulation

Niacin exerts vasodilatory effects on peripheral blood vessels. In medicinal applications, it may induce cutaneous erythema, which facilitates the improvement of local blood circulation. This characteristic enables its occasional use in medical practice to adjunctively ameliorate certain circulatory insufficiencies. However, such applications remain within the realm of pharmaceutical use and must be administered under medical supervision. Niacin is widely found in animal liver, poultry, fish, peanuts, mushrooms, and other foods. A balanced diet typically meets daily requirements. For cases requiring additional supplementation, such as therapeutic purposes or specific disease conditions, it must be conducted under the professional evaluation and guidance of a physician or dietitian to avoid self-administration of high doses, which may lead to adverse reactions such as skin flushing, gastrointestinal discomfort, or abnormal liver function. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a diverse diet and regular exercise, is fundamental to sustaining the balance of niacin and other nutrients in the body.
