Vitamin B3-13C6 (Nicotinic acid-13C6)

Description

Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin, is a water-soluble vitamin of the B complex and essential human nutrient. Niacin deficiency, often the result of impaired nutritional status associated with conditions ranging from malnutrition to chronic alcoholism, is frequently monitored in patient plasma samples by LC-MS/MS. This stable-labeled internal standard is suitable for quantification of nicotinic acid levels by MS-based testing applications from diagnostic testing of niacin deficiency to quality control testing of niacin-based pharmaceutical preparations, dietary supplements, or fortified foods.
