NOW Foods Niacin Vitamin B3 500mg 100 Veg Capsules

NOW® Niacin supplies 500 mg of vitamin B-3 (niacin) in each veg capsule. Niacin is an essential B-vitamin that the body needs for healthy energy metabolism — it is a building block of the coenzymes that help convert food into cellular energy — and it supports overall good health. Regular niacin is well known for causing a temporary, harmless "flush" (a warm, tingling redness of the skin) as blood vessels near the surface dilate.* If you're new to niacin, starting with a meal can help.*

Cautions & interactions

As with any supplement, talk to your doctor before starting this product if you are pregnant or nursing, take prescription medication, or manage a health condition. Keep it out of reach of children, store it in a cool, dry place, and don't exceed the recommended serving. If you take a multivitamin or several supplements, review the combined amounts with your healthcare provider so you don't unintentionally double up on the same nutrient. B-vitamins are water-soluble and generally well tolerated; any excess is typically excreted rather than stored. People with liver concerns or those taking medications should consult a physician before using higher-dose niacin.
