Daily Manufacturing Niacina (Vitamina B3) - 100 mg, 200 Comprimidos

What is Niacin (Vitamin B3)?

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient that the body needs to convert food into energy. It belongs to the B-vitamin complex and plays a key role in energy metabolism, nervous system health, and skin maintenance. There are two main forms: nicotinic acid (niacin) and nicotinamide (niacinamide). The product we present contains niacin in its nicotinic acid form, which is especially valued for its effect on blood lipids and the well-known temporary 'flush'.

Vitamin B3 is naturally found in foods such as chicken, tuna, chickpeas, and peanuts. However, sometimes supplementation may be necessary, especially for people with restrictive diets or specific needs.

Benefits Supported by EFSA

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

• 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 benefits make niacin a popular supplement among those looking to improve their daily energy levels, maintain healthy skin, and support mental well-being. It is important to remember that these effects occur within the context of a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Why choose Daily Manufacturing Niacin?

Daily Manufacturing is a family-owned company with FDA-registered facilities and ISO-9001 certification, ensuring high quality standards in manufacturing. Each tablet provides 100 mg of niacin (nicotinic acid) along with 56 mg of calcium as an excipient.

This supplement is gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan-friendly, making it a suitable option for people with allergies or dietary preferences. With 200 tablets per container, it offers several months' supply if taken at a daily dose.

It is important to note that niacin can cause a temporary redness or 'flush' in some people. This sensation of warmth, itching, or tingling is completely harmless and usually subsides after a few minutes. To minimize it, the supplement can be taken with food or by starting with a lower dose and gradually increasing it.

Recommended Dosage and Usage

It is recommended to take one tablet daily with water, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose unless under medical supervision. Each tablet contains 100 mg of niacin, a moderate dose that is within the usual supplementation range.

If a more intense effect on lipids is desired, some healthcare professionals may recommend higher doses, but always under medical supervision. For general use, 100 mg per day is sufficient to obtain the described benefits.

Possible Side Effects: The Niacin 'Flush'

The most well-known side effect of niacin (nicotinic acid) is the 'flush', a skin redness accompanied by a sensation of warmth, itching, or tingling. This effect is temporary and not dangerous. It occurs because niacin causes the dilation of superficial blood vessels.

To reduce the likelihood and intensity of the flush, niacin can be taken with food or by using sustained-release formulations. However, this product is immediate-release. Niacinamide, which does not produce a flush but has different metabolic properties, can also be chosen.

If you experience persistent discomfort, consult your doctor. As with any supplement, it is important to follow the instructions and not exceed the recommended dose.
