A viewer asks: “Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that the body can use directly, whilst NMN is a precursor that must be converted into NAD+ before it can be utilized. Niacinamide is involved in over 200 enzymatic reactions, whereas NMN’s primary role is to boost NAD+ levels. Both compounds offer health benefits, but they target different areas. NMN’s long-term effects are still being studied. Again, Niacinamide is normally taken ON the skin. Niacinamide is commonly found in topical skincare products but used as part of the Advanced Mitochondrial Formula, which is taken orally. Is this really safe?” What can we tell her?

This is not at all unprecedented. There are a number of indications for oral niacinamide administration and it is safe to do so in the concentrations being utilized for these supplements.
