21st Century Niacina 250 mg – 110 Comprimidos (Paquete de 2)

What is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in converting food into energy. This supplement provides 250 mg of niacin per tablet, in an easy-to-take format. Vitamin B3 is water-soluble, meaning the body does not store it in large amounts and requires a regular intake through diet or supplementation.

EFSA-backed Benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for niacin. Among these, niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal psychological function. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. These benefits make niacin an ideal supplement for those looking to maintain high energy levels and overall well-being.

Forms of Niacin: Niacin vs Niacinamide

There are two main forms of Vitamin B3: niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide). Niacin, present in this product, can cause a temporary flushing effect known as "flush," especially at high doses. Niacinamide, on the other hand, does not produce this effect. Both forms are effective, but the choice depends on individual tolerance and goals. Niacin is often used to support metabolic health, while niacinamide is preferred for skin care.

Recommended Dosage

Each tablet contains 250 mg of niacin. The recommended daily dose may vary depending on individual needs. It is advisable to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult a healthcare professional. The maximum daily dose should not be exceeded without medical supervision, as very high doses can cause adverse effects.

Possible Side Effects

Niacin can cause temporary redness and itching of the skin, known as "flush," especially when starting supplementation or increasing the dose. This effect is harmless and usually subsides with continued use. Taking the tablet with food can help reduce the intensity. If you experience persistent discomfort, consult your doctor. This product is free of sugar, salt, yeast, preservatives, and artificial flavors or colors, making it suitable for people with food sensitivities.
