Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Nicotinic Acid
- Vitamin B3
Niacin supplier for food, beverage, animal-feed, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical buyers in Malaysia. Also called nicotinic acid and vitamin B3, niacin is a white crystalline powder selected for nutritional fortification and formulated products that specifically require the acid form.
Commercial enquiries commonly distinguish food grade, feed grade and pharmaceutical grade material. Assay, particle size, impurity limits and the applicable documentation should be matched to the intended use. Niacin is not niacinamide; buyers should name the exact B3 form shown in their formulation or purchasing specification.
Food and beverage manufacturers use niacin in fortified products and premixes, while feed producers add suitable grades to vitamin premixes, compound feed and aquaculture diets. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators may specify nicotinic acid against a compendial or buyer-defined standard.
Send the required grade, target specification, quantity, application and delivery location with your enquiry. A 20 kg pack is a known commercial option; current availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about niacin
Are niacin, nicotinic acid and vitamin B3 the same product?
Niacin is the common name for nicotinic acid, a form of vitamin B3. Buyers should still state nicotinic acid on the specification because vitamin B3 can also refer more broadly to related forms.
Is niacin the same as niacinamide?
No. Niacin is nicotinic acid, while niacinamide is the amide form and a separate material. They have different identities and may behave differently in a formulation, so the purchase specification should name the required one.
Which niacin grade should I request?
State whether the application is food, animal feed or pharmaceutical and provide the applicable assay, particle-size, impurity and documentation requirements. The quoted grade is then matched to that specification.
What information should be included in a niacin specification?
Include the chemical identity, assay, appearance, particle size and any application-specific impurity, microbiological or compendial limits. A current purchasing specification is more useful than the grade name alone.
Is a 20 kg niacin pack available?
A 20 kg commercial option is known, but pack type and current availability depend on the grade and source quoted. Send the required quantity and any handling constraints so the packing can be confirmed with the quotation.
What details are needed for a niacin price enquiry?
Provide the grade, target specification, quantity, application and delivery location. Mention required documents and preferred packing so the quotation can address the full commercial requirement.
