What is the chemical name for vitamin b3?

Answer: Plants and animals can both produce Vitamin B3 from the amino acid tryptophan.

Niacin is its chemical name, and pyridine-3 carboxylic acid is its IUPAC name. We can get it from a wide range of whole as well as processed foods, with the highest subject in fortified packed food products, meats, poultry, redfish, nuts, legumes, seeds, and so on.

It is used to treat pellagra like a dietary supplement (due to niacin deficiency). Its symptoms include mouth as well as skin lesions, anaemia, headaches, fatigue, and so on. Many countries require it to be combined with wheat flour as well as other cereal grains to adjust for its deficiency.
