21st Century Niacinamide 500 mg Prolonged Release Tablets, 110 Tablets

What is Niacinamide and How Does It Differ from Niacin?

Discover 21st Century Niacinamide — Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 (niacin) that offers the benefits of this essential vitamin without the bothersome flushing effect that often accompanies high-dose niacin. While niacin (nicotinic acid) can cause a sensation of warmth and redness due to vasodilation, niacinamide is much better tolerated, making it an ideal choice for those who want to take advantage of vitamin B3's properties without experiencing that reaction. Our product contains 500 mg of niacinamide per tablet in a prolonged-release formula, designed to gradually release the nutrient throughout the day, optimizing its absorption and minimizing any potential discomfort.

Benefits Backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for niacin (vitamin B3) that apply equally to niacinamide, as both forms are biologically active. According to EFSA, niacin contributes to:

• Normal energy-yielding metabolism: Helps convert food into usable energy for cells, fighting tiredness and fatigue.
• Normal functioning of the nervous system: Essential for nerve signal transmission and the maintenance of healthy cognitive function.
• Normal psychological function: Participates in processes that influence mood and mental well-being.
• Maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes: Promotes cell regeneration and the health of the skin barrier.

These claims are officially recognized and allow us to highlight the real benefits of this supplement without making unauthorized statements.

Why Choose Extended Release?

Extended-release technology offers significant advantages over immediate-release formulas. By gradually releasing niacinamide, more stable levels of vitamin B3 are maintained in the body throughout the day, avoiding peaks and valleys. This not only improves nutrient bioavailability but also reduces the likelihood of mild side effects, such as stomach discomfort. Each 500 mg tablet is designed to dissolve slowly, providing a constant supply of niacinamide. It is especially useful for people with high vitamin B3 needs, such as those with restrictive diets, chronic stress, or high physical activity.

Possible Side Effects and Precautions
