Niacin (Nicotinic acid), USP-Grade

Description

Niacin (Nicotinic acid)

Immediate-Release | Pure Crystalline Powder

Nicotinic acid is the biologically conserved, direct precursor to NAD⁺ in human metabolism. This product provides nicotinic acid in its unmodified, immediate-release crystalline form, at 100% purity meeting the most stringent USP standard for quality control and purity, acceptable for human pharmaceutical use.

The material is sourced and handled with an emphasis on chemical purity and traceability, consistent with laboratory-grade standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) and origin (COO) reflect a commitment to known inputs, not blended or reformulated consumer substitutes.

This is not a time-release, buffered, or “flush-free” derivative. It is 100% nicotinic acid, offered as a powder to allow precise, titratable dosing.

Why Purity and Form Matter

Nicotinic acid’s role in NAD⁺ synthesis depends on its direct entry into the Preiss–Handler pathway. Modified or esterified forms may alter absorption kinetics or metabolic routing, introducing unnecessary uncertainty when repleting a limiting substrate.

Immediate-release crystalline nicotinic acid allows:

• Predictable absorption

• Transparent dose–response

• Clear physiologic feedback

For individuals rebuilding from deficiency or long-term depletion, simplicity and purity are advantages, not inconveniences.

Relationship to L-Tryptophan and InfinaLife

Nicotinic acid and L-tryptophan are metabolically linked through NAD⁺ synthesis and protein–energy balance. In some individuals, especially those incoming with depleted tryptophan pools, introducing nicotinic acid alone may be best approached gradually, while concurrently restoring tryptophan availability.

In this context, nicotinic acid can function as:

• An anchor substrate during early repletion

• A tool for controlled titration of vitamin B₃

• A preparatory step before transitioning to InfinaLife, which is designed to provide nicotinic acid and L-tryptophan in a defined, coupled ratio for eternity thereafter

Once tryptophan sufficiency is restored and tolerance established, many individuals prefer to consolidate into InfinaLife as a single, integrated formulation.

This product exists to support that staged, intentional progression, not to replace it.

Sensory and Physiologic Notes

Transient warmth or flushing may occur, particularly during initial use. This is a known, temporary response associated with nicotinic acid’s active physiologic signaling and typically diminishes with repeated exposure.
