<h3>Vitamin B3 forms</h3>
<p>Vitamin B3 comes in four main forms:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Niacin</strong> (also called <em>nicotinic acid</em>)</li>
<li><strong>Niacinamide (or <em>nicotinamide</em>)</strong></li>
<li><strong>NAD (<em>nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide</em>)</strong></li>
<li><strong>NMN (<em>nicotinamide mononucleotide</em>)</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3>Vitamin B3 Benefits</h3>
<p>The body converts niacin and niacinamide into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD/NADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). NAD /NADH and NADP are essential for energy production.</p>
<h3>NAD & NMN for aging</h3>
<p><strong>NAD</strong> and <strong>NMN</strong> are active cofactor forms. They have good research behind them and are easy for the body to use. They're popular to support healthy aging - including <strong>DNA repair, brain aging and energy</strong>.</p>
<h3>Niacinamide skincare</h3>
