  • Niacinamide: Known as vitamin B3, niacinamide helps the body balance cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It also benefits heart health and lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Chromium: Is an element essential to the metabolic process of the body. Chromium regulates blood sugar and helps transport glucose into cells where it used for energy.
  • Panthenol: Known as provitamin B5, it helps convert carbohydrates into energy and helps the body utilize fats and proteins.
