Show Niacin (B3) as Niacin Equivalent

NBM106

Per Wikipedia:

Both the DRI and DRV describe amounts needed as niacin equivalents (NE), calculated as 1 mg NE = 1 mg niacin or 60 mg of the essential amino acid tryptophan. This is because the amino acid is utilized to synthesize the vitamin.

It would be nice to have the choice to display B3 in NE units, i.e. automatically adding the NE from Tryptophan.

Hi NBM106,

Thanks for reaching out! It would be great to have the option to choose Niacin Equivalents instead, in case you are consuming enough tryptophan to be converted to niacin when you need it.

Cheers,
