📋 Food Supplement: NMN & Vitamin B3 Niacin Capsules are food supplements — not medicines. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition. No authorised EU/UK health claims exist for NMN. Vitamin B3 (Niacin/Nicotinic Acid) carries specific authorised EU/UK health claims — stated below.

🧬 What Is NMN?
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, CAS 1094-61-7, molecular formula C11H15N2O8P) is a nucleotide compound related to the vitamin B3 family. It is naturally present in trace amounts in some foods including broccoli, cabbage and edamame. In the UK, NMN is sold as a food supplement — not a medicine.
NMN is a direct precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) in biochemical terms — meaning it sits one step earlier in the metabolic pathway that produces NAD+. NAD+ is a coenzyme involved in numerous cellular processes including energy metabolism. Academic research interest in NMN centres on understanding how it is metabolised within NAD+ pathways — not on consumer health outcomes.
⚠️ Important regulatory note on NMN:
No authorised EU/UK health claims exist for NMN as a food supplement. NMN must not be marketed as treating, curing or preventing any disease. All NMN content on this page is provided for educational and ingredient transparency purposes only.
💊 What Is Vitamin B3 Niacin?
Vitamin B3 exists in several forms — the two most commonly used in food supplements are Nicotinic Acid (Niacin) and Nicotinamide (Niacinamide). Both are forms of vitamin B3. Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) carries multiple authorised EU/UK health claims under Regulation EC No 1924/2006 as retained in UK law — making it one of the most legally well-supported vitamin ingredients in the UK supplement market.
✅ Authorised EU/UK Health Claims — Vitamin B3 (Niacin/Nicotinic Acid)
Claims apply to Vitamin B3 (Niacin/Nicotinic Acid) at the declared NRV level per serving. These are the only claims made. Food supplement — not a medicine.
⚗️ How NMN and Niacin Relate to NAD+
| Property | NMN | Vitamin B3 Niacin |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Nicotinamide Mononucleotide | Nicotinic Acid / Niacin |
| CAS number | 1094-61-7 | 59-67-6 |
| Vitamin B3 family | Yes — related compound | Yes — direct form of B3 |
| NAD+ relationship | Direct NAD+ precursor | NAD+ precursor via Preiss-Handler pathway |
| Authorised EU/UK health claims | None ❌ | Multiple ✅ |
| UK regulatory status | Food supplement | Food supplement · established vitamin |
| Flush effect | None | ⚠️ Nicotinic Acid can cause skin flushing |
⚠️ Niacin Flush Warning: Nicotinic Acid (Niacin) can cause a temporary skin flushing reaction — redness, warmth and tingling of the skin — particularly at higher doses. This is a well-documented pharmacological effect of Nicotinic Acid and is not dangerous in healthy individuals but can be uncomfortable. If flushing is a concern, Nicotinamide (flush-free B3) is an alternative form. Always follow label dosage guidance.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is NMN?
NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide, CAS 1094-61-7) is a nucleotide compound related to the vitamin B3 family. It is naturally present in trace amounts in some foods. In the UK it is sold as a food supplement — not a medicine. No authorised EU/UK health claims exist for NMN.
What is Vitamin B3 Niacin and does it have authorised health claims?
Yes — Vitamin B3 (Niacin/Nicotinic Acid) carries multiple authorised EU/UK health claims including: contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, contributes to normal psychological function, and contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system. These are the only claims made.
What is the Niacin flush?
Nicotinic Acid (Niacin) can cause a temporary skin flushing effect — redness, warmth and tingling — particularly at higher doses. This is a well-documented effect of Nicotinic Acid. Nicotinamide (flush-free B3) is an alternative form that does not cause flushing.
Why are NMN and Niacin combined?
Both NMN and Niacin are related to the vitamin B3 family and both act as precursors to NAD+ through different biochemical pathways — NMN directly, and Niacin via the Preiss-Handler pathway. They are commonly combined in food supplement formulations for this biochemical relationship.
Is this product a medicine?
No — NMN & B3 Niacin Capsules are food supplements, not licensed medicines. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or medical condition.
