Niacinamide, also called nicotinamide, is the amide of nicotinic acid. Nicotinic acid is the form most labels simply call niacin. Both forms count as vitamin B3, so the word on the front of a bottle does not always tell you which one is inside. This capsule contains niacinamide only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule holds 500 mg of niacinamide as its single medicinal ingredient.
