Niacin
Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin found in a variety of foods, including meat, poultry, fish, and fortified grains. It plays a variety of roles in the body, including in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also necessary for the production of energy in the body and in the synthesis of different hormones. Niacin deficiency is rare in developed countries, however, supplementation has been shown to have several positive benefits. For example, it can reduce the risk of diabetic neuropathy (i.e., nerve pain) and has been shown effective for treating some types of high cholesterol (extended-release niacin is used as a prescription drug in the United States for this purpose). There is a multitude of niacin forms available as dietary supplements, including NADH, niacinamide, and nicotinamide riboside, all with different properties.

| General Statements |
- HOW IT WORKS: Niacin is a water soluble B Vitamin whose main role is to serve as a precursor for two essential biochemical coenzymes, NAD and NADP.* These two cofactors participate in virtually every aspect of energy production and other metabolic processes.* Niacin coenzymes help the cell use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to produce energy and are critical for DNA replication and repair.*
- Natural color variation may occur in this product.
|
| Precautions |
- CAUTIONS/INTERACTIONS: The Tolerable Upper Intake Level for all forms of Niacin for adults is 35 mg/day based on flushing as the critical adverse effect; however, the form of niacin in this product is unlikely to cause a flushing response. High-dose Niacin has been associated with liver dysfunction. Although this occurs most commonly with slow-release Niacin, it can occur with any type of Niacin when taken at a daily dose of > 500 mg (usually = 3 g). Regular blood tests to evaluate liver function are recommended when using high-dose Niacin.
- High-dose Niacin may interact with statin drugs and may interfere with the absorption of tetracycline. If you are taking tetracycline, take at least two hours before or after taking Niacin.
- Do Not Eat Freshness Packet. Keep in Bottle.
- Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.
- The anti-TB drug Isoniazid may increase the need for Niacin.
- If you have liver disease, ulcers, gout, gallbladder disease, or drink alcohol, do not take high-dose Niacin unless directed by your healthcare practitioner.
