Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) – 99% Pure Fermentation-Derived Vitamin B3

Product Introduction

Viablife Niacin (Nicotinic Acid), also known as Vitamin B3, is a high-purity, 100% bio-based ingredient developed for food, nutritional, and dietary supplement applications. Produced through an advanced fermentation process using renewable glucose derived from non-GMO corn, this ingredient provides an alternative to conventional petrochemical-based synthesis from pyridine.

With a purity of ≥99% verified by HPLC, Viablife Niacin combines controlled impurity levels, reliable quality management, and complete batch traceability. Its fermentation-derived origin and consistent specifications make it suitable for manufacturers seeking high-quality Vitamin B3 raw materials for commercial formulation and product development.

Key Features of Fermentation-Derived Niacin

100% Bio-Based Production

Unlike conventional chemical synthesis routes that use pyridine-based raw materials, Viablife Niacin is manufactured through glucose-based fermentation. The renewable carbon source comes from non-GMO corn, and its 100% bio-based origin is verified through carbon-14 analysis. This production approach offers manufacturers an alternative for developing products with bio-based ingredient sourcing requirements.

High Purity and Controlled Impurity Profile

Viablife Niacin achieves ≥99% purity, providing a clearly defined ingredient specification for nutritional and food applications. Its fermentation pathway avoids the formation of route-specific impurities such as pyridine and 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine associated with conventional chemical synthesis. This distinctive impurity profile supports effective quality control and consistent raw material evaluation.

Food-Grade Quality and Full Traceability

Quality management is essential for ingredients used in food fortification and dietary supplements. Viablife maintains batch-level quality control, traceability management, and origin documentation to support manufacturers' raw material qualification and production requirements.

Applications of Niacin (Vitamin B3)

Dietary Supplements

Niacin is widely used in B-complex vitamins, multivitamin products, and nutritional formulations. It can be incorporated into hard capsules, tablets, chewable tablets, gummies, and liquid drops. It is also suitable for oral beauty nutricosmetic formulations. Compatibility, stability, recovery, and content uniformity data are available upon request for different dosage forms.

Food and Beverage Fortification

As an essential B vitamin, nicotinic acid is used in food fortification programs and nutritional product development. Potential applications include fortified flour, breakfast cereals, functional beverages, plant-based protein drinks, meal replacements, prenatal nutrition products, and nutritional snack bars. Infant formula applications must comply with applicable regional regulations and ingredient specifications.

Vitamin Premixes and Specialized Nutrition

Niacin can serve as a component in customized vitamin premixes for food and supplement manufacturers. It also offers formulation opportunities for sports nutrition, senior nutrition, and Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP), subject to the regulatory requirements of each target market.

Reliable Niacin Manufacturing and Supply

Viablife applies advanced biotechnology to the industrial production of bio-based nutritional ingredients. Supported by a 60,000 m² self-owned factory and a 3,000-ton fermentation scale, the company provides manufacturing capacity for customers seeking a stable source of fermentation-derived Vitamin B3.
