metabolic function and joint comfort. It does not cause
the vasodilatation (“flush”) associated with niacin.*
Uses For Niacinamide
Energy Production: Niacinamide is a precursor of nicotinamide
adenine dinucleotide (NAD), essential for oxidationreduction
reactions, nutrient metabolism and ATP
synthesis. Alpha lipoic acid offers additional support for
the energy production process.*
Glucose Metabolism: Research indicates that niacinamide
may support healthy glucose metabolism and protect
pancreatic beta cell function. In a meta-analysis of 10
randomized controlled trials, niacinamide supplementation
promoted healthy C-peptide levels, insulin
metabolism and beta cell function. In another study,
niacinamide helped maintain healthy C-peptide levels,
HbA1c and glucose metabolism. Alpha lipoic acid is
included to offer synergistic support for healthy glucose
balance and metabolic function.*
Joint Function: Niacinamide promotes joint mobility and
comfort as well. In a 12-week randomized double blind
trial involving 72 subjects, niacinamide provided statistically
significant support for joint flexibility and normal
inflammatory response.*
What Is The Source?
Niacinamide and alpha lipoic acid are synthetic. Hypoallergenic
plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose.
