NOW Foods Niacina Sin Enrojecimiento Doble Concentración 500 mg - 90 Cápsulas Vegetales

What is Flush-Free Niacin?

Niacin (vitamin B3) is an essential water-soluble vitamin. This "flush-free" presentation uses inositol hexanicotinate, a form of niacin that consists of six niacin molecules attached to a single inositol molecule. This structure allows for a gradual release in the body, providing niacin activity without the characteristic skin flushing that many people cannot tolerate.

Product Features

• Double Strength: Each vegetable capsule contains 500 mg of niacin (as inositol hexanicotinate).
• Flush-Free: Inositol hexanicotinate breaks down slowly in the body, preventing the flush.
• Vegetable Capsules: Made with vegetable-derived capsules, suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
• NOW Foods Brand: Recognized for its quality and purity in nutritional supplements.

How Does Inositol Hexanicotinate Work?

Unlike standard niacin (nicotinic acid), inositol hexanicotinate binds six niacin molecules to one inositol molecule. This bond is gradually hydrolyzed in the body, slowly releasing free niacin and inositol. This gradual release allows for sustained niacin activity without the rapid release that causes flushing. Inositol is also a nutrient that supports cellular health.

Directions for Use

As a dietary supplement, take one capsule daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
