Tag: Niacin vs niacinamide

A large, whole egg provides approximately 0.17 mg of niacin, a form of vitamin B3, with concentrations found in both the yolk and albumen. While eggs do not directly contain niacinamide, they are a source of niacin, which the body can then convert into niacinamide as needed for various cellular functions. This relationship is key to understanding how eggs contribute to your vitamin B3 intake.

While the recommended daily intake of niacin for adults is around 14–16 mg, research suggests that oral niacinamide is possibly safe for most adults when used appropriately under medical guidance. Taking higher amounts should only be done under medical supervision.
