What is Nicotinamide?

Nicotinamide, also known as nicotinic acid amide or niacinamide, belongs to the group of B vitamins and is known as vitamin B3.It can be converted into nicotinic acid in the body and vice versa.In contrast to other water-soluble vitamins, the body can produce nicotinamide itself.

Functions of Nicotinamide

Nicotinamide plays an important role in numerous metabolic processes in the human body.It is involved in energy metabolism as well as in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.In this way, it contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes and supports the nervous system by producing certain messenger substances.

Causes and symptoms of nicotinamide deficiency

Nicotinamide deficiency can be caused by insufficient dietary intake or an increased need.Certain medical conditions such as alcoholism, anorexia, chronic diarrhea, Hartnup's disease and liver disease can increase the risk of deficiency.Initially, non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and loss of appetite may occur.Advanced deficiency symptoms include skin inflammation, inflammation of the tongue and gastrointestinal tract, dry mouth, depressive moods and irritability.

Natural sources of nicotinamide

Nicotinamide is found in various foods.Fish such as anchovies, tuna, salmon and mackerel, as well as meat such as lean beef, veal and pork, poultry and offal are particularly rich in nicotinamide.Plant-based foods such as mung beans, peanuts and mushrooms also contain high amounts of nicotinamide.Meat, coffee and wholemeal bread are the main sources of common consumption habits in Germany.Since nicotinamide is water-soluble, it passes into the water when cooking, which is why it may make sense to reuse the cooking water.

Absorption of nicotinamide in the body

Nicotinamide is absorbed primarily in the small intestine.Nicotinamide from animal foods is better absorbed than that from plant sources because it is bound in plant foods and can only be absorbed to around 30.
