Vitamin B-3: Niacin and
Its Amide
by A. Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D.
The first water soluble vitamins were numbered
in sequence according to priority of discovery. But after their chemical
structure was determined they were given scientific names. The third one
to be discovered was the anti-pellagra vitamin before it was shown to be
niacin. But the use of the number B-3 did not stay in the literature very

that had been used. I told him it was originally known as vitamin B-3.
This was the term Bill wanted. In his first report to physici"
