What Are You Looking For?
Nicotinic acid, also known as vitamin B3, is mainly found in animal organs and muscle tissue and also exists in trace amounts in fruits and egg yolks. It is one of the 13 essential vitamins, belonging to the B vitamins, heat-resistant, and capable of sublimation, and is a water-soluble vitamin. Nicotinic acid can be converted into nicotinamide in the human body, involved in the synthesis of coenzyme I and coenzyme II, the body's lipid metabolism, the oxidation of tissue respiration, and the anaerobic decomposition of sugars have an important role.

Application
Nicotinic acid functions as an indispensable coenzyme in the metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It plays a crucial role in facilitating the interconversion between carbohydrates and proteins, as well as the conversion of proteins and carbohydrates into fats. Additionally, it acts as a vital coenzyme for carboxylases by transferring carboxyl groups and fixing carbon dioxide. Moreover, biotin serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes and acts as a carrier for carboxylation reactions involving carbon dioxide fixation and decarboxylation during carbohydrate metabolism. In animals, biotin participates in essential metabolic processes related to sugars, proteins, and fats through its involvement with coenzymes. Furthermore, biotin is necessary for maintaining proper development of animal skin, hair, hooves, reproduction system functionality, nervous system health; it also enhances feed utilization efficiency and promotes weight gain. Insufficient levels of biotin can result in slow growth rate,reproductive impairments,and various dermatological issues such as dermatitis,hair loss,and skin keratinization.In pigs,it commonly manifests itself through skin ulcers,inflammation of oral mucosa,digestive disorders,muscle cramps,and bleeding on hoof soles.Biotin is primarily used adjunctively to address lesions caused by vitamin H deficiency or malnutrition.The human body requires approximately 100 to 300 micrograms of biotin per day. Raw egg white contains an anti-biotin protein that binds with biotin, rendering it unabsorbable by the digestive tract. This can result in biotin deficiency in animals, leading to symptoms such as decreased appetite, inflammation of ligaments, dandruffy dermatitis, and hair loss. Biotin serves as a coenzyme for numerous enzymes involved in fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism, facilitates protein synthesis, participates in the metabolism of vitamin B12, folic acid, and pantothenic acid; and promotes urea synthesis and excretion.
