Nicotinamide

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its metabolites function as critical regulators to maintain physiologic processes, enabling cells to adapt to environmental changes including nutrient perturbation, genotoxic factors, infection, inflammation and xenobiotics.

The Vitamin B3 test measures the levels of nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, the two main forms of vitamin B3, in the blood. This test is used to evaluate vitamin B3 status in patients with symptoms of deficiency, such as pellagra, characterized by dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. It can also help assess the nutritional status in individuals with malabsorption issues, alcohol dependence, or those on restrictive diets.

Nicotinic acid occurs naturally in plants and animals and is also added to many foods as a vitamin supplement.
