NutraBio Niacinamide 500 mg - 120 Vegetable Capsules - Flush Free

What is Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)?

Discover Nutrabio Niacinamide Supplement — Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 essential for the body. Unlike niacin (nicotinic acid), niacinamide does not cause the characteristic skin flushing or itching, making it a very comfortable option for those who wish to benefit from vitamin B3 without discomfort. This water-soluble nutrient is involved in more than 200 enzymatic reactions, especially in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and the synthesis of key molecules such as NAD+.

Vitamin B3 is naturally found in foods such as poultry, oily fish, eggs, nuts, and legumes. However, in certain situations (restrictive diets, increased metabolic demand, or reduced absorption), a quality supplement may be necessary. NutraBio Niacinamide offers 500 mg per vegetable capsule, in an additive-free format and manufactured under strict purity controls.

EFSA-backed Benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for niacin (including its active forms such as niacinamide). These include:

• Energy metabolism: Niacinamide contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helping to convert food into usable energy by cells.
• Nervous system: It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, which impacts impulse transmission and coordination.
• Psychological function: It supports normal psychological function, including cognitive processes such as memory and concentration.
• Skin and mucous membranes: It contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes, promoting cell regeneration.
• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue: It helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue, especially in situations of increased physical or mental exertion.

These benefits make niacinamide a versatile nutrient, ideal for those seeking to maintain high energy levels, a balanced nervous system, and healthy skin.

Niacin vs Niacinamide: Which to choose?

Vitamin B3 comes in two main forms: niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide). Both are effective, but have important differences:

• Niacin: At high doses (starting from about 50 mg), it produces a vasodilator effect known as flush, which manifests as redness, warmth, and itching of the skin. This effect is harmless but can be uncomfortable. Some people use it for benefits on lipid profiles, although its use must be monitored.
• Niacinamide: It does not cause a flush, making it the preferred option for daily supplementation without discomfort. It retains all the properties of vitamin B3 except the vasodilating effect. It is the most recommended form for maintaining energy levels, skin health, and overall lipid balance.

NutraBio has opted for niacinamide in its 500 mg presentation, thus offering a high dose without the inconvenience of the flush. This allows you to take advantage of the benefits of vitamin B3 with complete comfort.

Recommended dosage

The recommended daily dose of vitamin B3 for adults in the EU is 16 mg niacin equivalents. However, for specific supplementation purposes, higher doses may be used under supervision. One capsule of NutraBio Niacinamide provides 500 mg, a much higher amount than the basic recommended intakes. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before starting to take it, especially if you are undergoing other treatments or suffer from any medical condition.

As a general guideline, one capsule can be taken daily with food, preferably in the morning or at midday so as not to interfere with sleep. Do not exceed the indicated dose without medical advice.

Possible side effects and precautions

Niacinamide is generally well tolerated. Unlike niacin, it does not cause redness or itching. However, very high doses (above 1000 mg per day) can cause digestive discomfort, nausea, or headache. In people with liver problems, diabetes, or bleeding disorders, extreme caution should be exercised and medical supervision should always be sought.

Its use is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women without consulting a doctor. Keep out of reach of children. This product is a food supplement, not a medicine, and should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.

Best food sources of vitamin B3

In addition to supplementation, it is possible to incorporate vitamin B3 through diet. Some excellent sources within the Mediterranean diet are:

• Chicken and turkey (especially breast)
• Tuna, salmon, and mackerel
• Eggs
• Legumes such as chickpeas and lentils
• Nuts (almonds, peanuts)
• Whole grains and brewer's yeast

Combining a diet rich in these foods with a quality supplement like NutraBio Niacinamide can help meet daily needs and optimize energy metabolism and nervous function.

Who should consider niacinamide supplementation?

Niacinamide can be beneficial for several profiles:

• People with fatigue or low energy: by contributing to energy metabolism and reducing tiredness.
• Athletes and physically active individuals: to support energy production during exercise and recovery.
• Those looking to care for their skin: niacinamide is used topically and orally to maintain healthy skin.
• People with restrictive diets (vegan, vegetarian): although vitamin B3 is present in many vegetables, absorption may be lower; a supplement ensures adequate amounts.
• Older adults: the ability to absorb nutrients may decrease with age, and niacinamide can support cognitive function and overall health.

In any case, the decision to supplement should be based on individual needs and, preferably, with the advice of a healthcare professional.
