Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3 is a clinical biomarker on the Nutrients panel, reported in ug/mL. Standard reference range: 0.5–8.45 ug/mL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 2–6 ug/mL.
What is Vitamin B3?
Niacin (vitamin B3) is a precursor to NAD+ and NADP+, coenzymes essential for hundreds of oxidation-reduction reactions in energy metabolism and DNA repair.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (ug/mL) | Source |

| Standard (lab) | 0.5–8.45 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 2–6 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Vitamin B3
SomaVue maps every result for Vitamin B3 against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
