Application / Intended Use
Niacin is used in flour and cereal fortification programmes, energy drinks and multivitamins, and is standard in poultry and swine premixes. Cosmetic formulators use the niacinamide form at 2-5% in serums for barrier function and pigmentation. It is one of the more heat-stable vitamins, so it survives baking and extrusion.
