Niacin (Vitamin B3) 250 mg Sin Enrojecimiento - 90 Cápsulas Veganas - NOW Foods

What is NOW Foods Flush-Free Niacin?

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient your body needs to convert food into energy. This NOW Foods supplement provides 250 mg of niacin in a special form called inositol hexanicotinate, which is slowly released into the body to avoid the characteristic flushing caused by other forms of niacin. It is ideal for those seeking the benefits of vitamin B3 without the discomfort of skin warmth.

Manufactured under strict GMP quality controls, this product is vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free. Each package contains 90 vegetable capsules, providing a three-month supply if one capsule is taken daily.

Benefits of Vitamin B3 backed by the EFSA

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

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

These effects are scientifically recognized and make niacin a valuable addition to your daily routine, especially if you lead an active lifestyle or need extra support for your vitality.

Forms of niacin: what's the difference?

There are several forms of vitamin B3 on the market. The most common is nicotinic acid, which can cause temporary skin flushing due to vasodilation. Niacinamide (nicotinamide) does not cause flushing, but also does not offer the same metabolic benefits profile. Inositol hexanicotinate, present in this product, is a sustained-release form that combines six molecules of niacin with one of inositol. It breaks down gradually in the body, providing free niacin without the bothersome flushing effect.

Choosing the right form depends on your needs. If you want to avoid flushing and prefer sustained release, inositol hexanicotinate is an excellent option.

Recommended dosage and how to take this supplement

The recommended dose for adults is one (1) capsule daily, preferably with a meal. Each capsule provides 250 mg of niacin in the form of inositol hexanicotinate, which is equivalent to over 1500% of the reference intake (RI) for this vitamin. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Vitamin supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. It is important to maintain a varied diet that includes natural sources of vitamin B3 such as lean meats, fish, legumes, and nuts.

Possible side effects and precautions

Although this flush-free form minimizes flushing, very high doses of niacin can cause adverse effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort or, in rare cases, elevated liver enzymes. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have liver problems, or are taking medication, consult your doctor before starting this supplement.

Remember that niacin in any form can interact with certain drugs, so it is always advisable to inform your healthcare professional about any supplements you are taking.
