The role of nicotinamide in skin cancer chemoprevention

Key highlights

• Nicotinamide supports DNA repair and restores cellular energy after UV exposure, helping maintain normal skin cell function.
• Oral nicotinamide therapy has been shown to reduce the incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer.
• Recent clinical trials demonstrate that nicotinamide is well-tolerated and safe for long-term use as a preventive strategy.
• Integrating nicotinamide supplementation with standard sun protection offers a practical, evidence-based approach for individuals at high risk of skin cancer.
