Vitamin B3 is required for many metabolic pathways occurring in the body. These pathways are important for energy production and the metabolism of substances within the body. The metabolism of glucose is through the pathway called glycolysis. Glycolysis utilizes B3 in many of its enzymatic reactions.
After utilizing Vitamin B3 in glycolysis, the product of glycolysis is sent to the TCA cycle, and then the electron transport chain is utilized. This cascade of pathways results in the production of energy.
