500 mg Niacin as Nicotinic Acid
Each tablet provides 500 mg of niacin as nicotinic acid in a time-release tablet designed to release the ingredient gradually. This is a high-potency niacin product intended for informed adult use.
Take one tablet daily according to the label directions.
This Is Not an Ordinary Nutritional-Dose Niacin Tablet
Each tablet supplies 500 mg of nicotinic acid, far more than the amount of niacin typically found in a daily multivitamin.
Consult your healthcare professional before use, especially if you are considering high-dose niacin for cholesterol or lipid management, take prescription medication, or have an existing medical condition.
What Does Niacin Do in the Body?
Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin used by the body to form the coenzymes NAD and NADP.
These coenzymes participate in normal cellular energy metabolism, including reactions that help transfer energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins.*
Niacin Supports Important Metabolic Processes
What Is the Niacin Flush?
Nicotinic acid can temporarily widen small blood vessels near the surface of the skin. This may cause warmth, redness, tingling or itching, especially on the face, neck, chest or arms.
The time-release format is designed to release niacin gradually, which may reduce the intensity of flushing for some users. However, time release does not mean flush free.
Stop use and seek medical advice if a reaction is severe, persistent or accompanied by dizziness, faintness, difficulty breathing or other concerning symptoms.
What Does Time Release Mean?
The tablet is formulated to release niacin gradually rather than releasing the full amount immediately.
Time-release delivery may change when flushing occurs, but it does not eliminate the potential for flushing or other side effects associated with high-dose nicotinic acid.
Niacin and Lipid Metabolism
High-dose nicotinic acid has been studied for its effects on lipid metabolism. However, using niacin for cholesterol or triglyceride management is different from ordinary vitamin supplementation.
Customers considering this product for lipid management should use it only with healthcare-professional guidance and appropriate monitoring. This dietary supplement should not replace prescribed medication or medical treatment.
