Niacinamide, or Vitamin B3, plays a role in the metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates. It also regulates the synthesis of sex hormones.

Niacinamide is also responsible for growth and health and the maintenance of normal functioning of the skin, tongue and nervous system.

The B-Compound vitamins are probably the single most important set of factors needed for proper maintenance of the nervous system, proper functioning of the cell and its energy metabolism. Any kind of mental or physical stress as well as poor eating habits greatly increase the body's need for B Vitamins.
