Niacin Powder (1 kg) - Pure Immediate Release Vitamin B3 with Flush - Nicotinic Acid - Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free

What is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?

Vitamin B3, also known as niacin or nicotinic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the body. It participates in more than 400 enzymatic reactions related to energy metabolism. Our niacin powder is immediate-release, meaning it is rapidly absorbed and produces the characteristic 'flush' (redness and warmth) that indicates it is working.

This supplement is ideal for those seeking a pure and concentrated source of vitamin B3, without excipients or additives. Each 500 mg dose provides a high intake of this vitamin, helping to meet daily needs in cases of restrictive diets or increased energy demands.

Benefits Supported by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for niacin. These include:

• Energy metabolism: Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Nervous system: Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Psychological function: Contributes to normal psychological function.
• Skin and mucous membranes: Contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
• Reduction of tiredness: Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These claims are recognised by European legislation and can be used on the labelling and in the advertising of food supplements.

Forms of Niacin: Niacin vs Niacinamide

There are two main forms of vitamin B3: niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide). The main difference lies in the flush effect. Niacin causes redness and a feeling of warmth due to vasodilation, while niacinamide does not. This product contains pure niacin, so the flush is a normal and expected response.

Some people prefer niacin for its more immediate action and absorption profile. Niacinamide is often used in skin formulations or when the flush is to be avoided. Both forms are effective, but the choice depends on personal preferences and objectives.

Recommended Dosage and Directions for Use

The recommended daily dose of vitamin B3 for adults is approximately 16 mg for men and 14 mg for women. However, in supplementation contexts, higher doses can be used under professional supervision. This product provides 500 mg per serving, a quantity much higher than the recommended daily intake.

Directions for use: Mix 1/8 teaspoon (approximately 500 mg) with water or your favourite beverage. It is advisable to start with a smaller dose to assess tolerance to the flush. Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting a healthcare professional.

Important warning: Niacin can cause skin flushing, especially at the start of consumption. This effect is temporary and harmless, but if it persists or becomes bothersome, consult your doctor. Do not take this product if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have liver problems.
