Maximizing metabolic efficiency, reducing carbon footprints, and scaling commercial yields with advanced Vitamin B3 integration.
In modern animal husbandry and aquaculture, metabolic stress is one of the key factors that limits genetic growth potential. Niacin (Vitamin B3), comprising nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, is the foundational building block for two vital coenzymes: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP). These coenzymes act as catalytic drivers in hundreds of metabolic redox reactions, including carbohydrate glycolysis, lipid metabolism, and tissue respiration.
As a leading OEM/ODM Niacin factory, Qingdao Akston Health Co., Ltd. customizes particle sizes, release rates, and encapsulation formulations to address specific physiological stresses. In high-producing dairy cows, our rumen-protected niacin formulations bypass the rumen degradation phase. This allows the niacin to be absorbed directly into the small intestine, which regulates lipid mobilization and minimizes systemic risks such as hyperketonemia and fatty liver syndrome.
For swine and poultry, feed-grade niacin promotes cellular integrity, enhances digestion, and improves feed conversion ratios (FCR). By optimizing nutritional pathways, we help farmers achieve higher daily gains while reducing nitrogen excretions. This supports environmental goals and meets strict global guidelines for sustainable farming.
Navigating global supply chains, industrial demands, and capacity management for stable, long-term sourcing.
Our advanced industrial plants utilize automated continuous synthesis routes. This allows us to maintain consistent supply cycles and absorb market price volatility for our global partners.
Every batch conforms to international FCC, USP, and feed-grade regulations. We use raw materials that are free from heavy metals, contaminants, or genetically modified residues.
By optimizing synthesis routes and sourcing raw ingredients efficiently, we provide competitive wholesale pricing without compromising on chemical purity or stability.

We are committed to creating lasting value through reliable products, competitive pricing, efficient supply chain management, and responsive customer service.
Traceable, automated, and strictly regulated manufacturing facilities optimized for stability and safety.
Innovation in physical properties, bioavailability, and sustainable synthesis methods.
Conventional niacin experiences high dissolution rates in water, leading to degradation within the rumen. Our R&D team has developed micro-encapsulation technologies using lipid-based matrix coatings. This ensures that the active niacin is released in a controlled manner within the target digestive zones, maximizing nutritional uptake and efficiency.
Akston Health is moving towards green biocatalytic synthesis routes to reduce carbon emissions. By replacing traditional metal oxide catalysts with highly selective enzymes, we minimize chemical waste, reduce the carbon footprint per ton of output, and produce cleaner, ultra-pure niacin for various feed and food applications.
Optimized formulations designed to meet the unique digestive needs of different livestock and species.
Our rumen-bypass niacin helps prevent subclinical ketosis, improves milk fat yield, and supports overall body weight management during early lactation stages.
Supports early-weaned piglets by improving intestinal structure, protecting the gut barrier, and reducing incidence rates of diarrhea.
Prevents leg weakness and perosis, improves plumage growth, and enhances eggshell strength in high-producing laying hens.
Ensuring global export viability through certifications, custom documentation, and local technical support.
Exporting feed additives internationally requires strict compliance with varying global regulations. Akston Health ensures that all batches of niacin and related nutritional ingredients are manufactured under verified FAMI-QS, ISO 9001, and HACCP frameworks. This guarantees complete traceability from raw material storage to the final delivery destination.
We assist our regional distributors and buyers with registration processes, providing necessary dossiers like Certificates of Analysis (COA), Health Certificates, and MSDS sheets. Our technical teams offer localized consulting services to help optimize feed formulations and ensure compliance with FDA, EFSA, and local ministry requirements.

Both function as precursors to NAD/NADP. However, nicotinic acid can cause vascular dilation (flushing effect) in humans and specific animals at high doses, while nicotinamide does not. In most livestock feeds, both are used effectively, but nicotinamide is often preferred in pet foods and specialty pre-mixes for its high stability and gentle profile.
We offer customized granulated formulations and lipid micro-encapsulated coatings. These physical shields protect the active niacin molecules from moisture, pressure, and high heat during feed extrusion processes, ensuring high retention and efficacy.
For standard feed-grade niacin, our MOQ begins at 1 metric ton. For custom specifications, including custom particle sizes or micro-encapsulated formulations, the typical MOQ is 3 to 5 metric tons, depending on the complexity of the formulation.
Our production facilities conform to FAMI-QS, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22000, and HACCP standards. We also provide Kosher and Halal certified options for food-grade formulations upon request.
Standard orders are generally dispatched within 10 to 15 business days from our warehouse. Custom formulations or private label packaging typically take between 20 and 30 business days, depending on manufacturing queue cycles and customs clearances.
