Usage

General Description

Vitamin PP, also known as niacin or nicotinic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and protein. As a component of coenzymes NAD and NADP, it is essential for energy production and utilization in the body. Vitamin PP also helps maintain the health of the nervous system, skin, and digestive system. It is found in a variety of foods, including meat, fish, eggs, and green vegetables, and can also be synthesized in the body from the amino acid tryptophan. A deficiency of Vitamin PP can lead to a condition called pellagra, which is characterized by symptoms such as dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. Supplementation or dietary intake of Vitamin PP is important for overall health and wellness.
