Major Niacina 500mg - 100 comprimidos

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in energy metabolism. Major Niacin 500mg provides a high dose of this vitamin in each tablet to support your daily well-being.

What is vitamin B3 (niacin)?

Niacin is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that acts as a precursor to coenzymes such as NAD and NADP, which are essential for more than 200 enzymatic reactions. These coenzymes are involved in energy production from food, DNA repair, and cell signaling. The body cannot store large amounts of niacin, so it must be obtained regularly through diet or supplements.

EFSA-backed benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the following health claims for niacin:

• Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Niacin contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Niacin contributes to normal psychological function.
• Niacin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
• Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These properties make niacin a valuable nutrient for maintaining daily vitality and general well-being.

What makes Major Niacin 500mg special?

Each tablet contains 500 mg of niacin in the form of nicotinic acid, the classic form of this vitamin. This dose is considerably higher than the recommended daily intake (16 mg for adults), making it an option for those seeking an extra boost under professional supervision. The product is formulated to high quality standards and is suitable for daily use.

Forms of niacin: niacin vs. niacinamide

It is important to distinguish between the two main forms of vitamin B3: niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide). Niacin, present in this supplement, can cause a flushing effect or warmth known as "flush," which is temporary and harmless. Niacinamide, on the other hand, does not produce this effect and is often used in skin products. Both forms have similar benefits, but the choice depends on personal tolerance and supplementation goals.

Recommended dosage and use

For adults, it is recommended to take 1 tablet daily, preferably with a meal to improve absorption and reduce possible stomach upset. Do not exceed the indicated dose without consulting a healthcare professional. Each package contains 100 tablets, enough for more than three months of continuous use.

Possible side effects and warnings

Niacin in the form of nicotinic acid can cause temporary skin flushing (flush), accompanied by itching or a sensation of warmth, especially when starting supplementation or with high doses. This effect is normal and usually decreases with continued use. To minimize it, the tablet can be taken with meals or the dose can be divided. If discomfort persists or other symptoms appear, consult your doctor. This product should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet or exceed the recommended daily dose without medical supervision. Keep out of reach of children.
