Source Naturals Niacinamida B-3, 1500 mg, 50 tabletas

What is Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)?

Discover Source Naturals Niacinamide — Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3 or nicotinamide, is a form of water-soluble vitamin that plays an essential role in numerous metabolic reactions in the body. Unlike niacin (nicotinic acid), niacinamide does not cause the characteristic skin flushing or flush, making it an ideal choice for those seeking the benefits of Vitamin B3 without discomfort. This nutrient is involved in more than 50 enzymatic processes, many of which are related to energy production at the cellular level. As an essential vitamin, the body cannot produce it on its own, so it must be obtained through diet or supplementation.

Vitamin B3 is naturally found in foods such as chicken, tuna, chickpeas, and nuts, but sometimes an extra intake may be necessary to meet daily needs. Our supplement offers 1500 mg per tablet, a high dose designed for those who require additional support. Each container includes 50 vegan tablets, free of animal-derived ingredients and suitable for restrictive diets.

Benefits Backed by EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for niacin, which are also applicable to niacinamide as it is an active form of Vitamin B3. Scientifically recognized benefits include:

• Normal energy metabolism: Niacin contributes to normal energy metabolism, helping to convert food into usable energy for cells.
• Nervous system function: Vitamin B3 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, being important for the transmission of nerve signals.
• Normal psychological function: It also contributes to normal psychological function, supporting mental well-being.
• Maintenance of skin and mucous membranes: Niacin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue: By participating in energy production, Vitamin B3 helps reduce the feeling of tiredness and fatigue.

These effects are supported by scientific evidence and recognized by European health authorities. It is important to note that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet or as a treatment for diseases.

Why choose niacinamide instead of niacin?

The main difference between niacinamide and niacin lies in their most well-known side effect: flushing or flush. Niacin causes vasodilation that can be uncomfortable, with redness, itching, or a feeling of heat on the skin. Niacinamide, on the other hand, does not produce this effect, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of Vitamin B3 without discomfort.

Furthermore, niacinamide is especially valued for its stability and widespread use in supplement formulations. While niacin has traditionally been studied for cholesterol control (although this claim is not approved by EFSA), niacinamide focuses more on metabolic and nervous support. Both forms are effective, but the choice depends on individual needs and personal tolerance.

In this product, we have opted for high-purity niacinamide to offer a clean supplementation experience without unwanted adverse effects. It is suitable even for people with sensitive skin or those who have had previous reactions to niacin.

Dosage and method of consumption

The recommended dose is one tablet daily, which provides 1500 mg of niacinamide. This amount exceeds the usual recommended daily intake, making it suitable for those seeking a high intake under professional supervision. It is advisable to take the tablet with water, preferably during a meal to promote absorption.

It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose without consulting a healthcare professional. Very high doses of niacinamide (over 3 grams per day) can cause side effects such as nausea or liver discomfort. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult your doctor before starting supplementation.

The tablet format makes it easy to integrate into your daily routine. Each container includes 50 tablets, enough for almost two months of treatment if the indicated guideline is followed. Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
