Nicotinic acid belongs to the vitamin B group, also known as nicotinic acid or vitamin B3. Its molecular formula is C6H5NO2 and its chemical name is pyridine-3-formic acid. It features excellent thermal stability and can be sublimated—a method frequently utilized to purify nicotinic acid in industrial settings. Nicotinic acid appears as a white crystal or white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. It primarily exists in animal viscera and muscle tissues, with trace amounts also found in fruits and egg yolks. As one of the 13 essential vitamins for the human body, niacin is currently mainly used as a feed additive. It improves the utilization rate of feed protein, boosts the milk yield of dairy cows, and enhances the yield and quality of poultry and livestock meat, including fish, chicken, duck, cattle, and sheep.
Nicotinic acid content is guaranteed above 99% with stable quality, strictly meeting international standards including ISO, EP, and USP.
Features excellent water solubility and thermal stability, making it widely applicable for cosmetics, food additives, pharmaceuticals, and feed additives.
Benefit from factory-direct pricing, robust stock availability, and flexible options supporting both sample testing and bulk wholesale orders.
