Vitamin B3 - Niacin
Vitamin B3 is also known as niacin. Two forms exist, nicotinic acid and
nicotinamide, and are related to nicotine. Niacin is active in humans as nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), which act as
coenzymes in glycolysis and in non-cyclic phosphorilation. Niacin deficiency can result in
pellagra, a disease that affects the skin and the nervous system.
