HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Niacinamide 1000 mg by NusaPure

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 27, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: niacinamide (a form of niacin, also called vitamin B3), delivered at 1000 mg per capsule. Niacinamide is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a role in energy production and cell function.

The capsule itself includes cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose powder, silica, and magnesium stearate as inactive ingredients — these are fillers and binders that hold the supplement together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Niacinamide's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Niacinamide for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Pellagra — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Acne — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Diabetes — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Osteoarthritis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hyperphosphatemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Niacinamide is likely effective for pellagra, a deficiency disease of niacin that causes skin, digestive, and neurological problems. The evidence is less clear for other uses: it's rated possibly effective for acne, high phosphate in the blood (hyperphosphatemia), osteoarthritis, and type 2 diabetes.

For brain tumors, the evidence leans toward possibly ineffective. If you're considering this supplement for one of these conditions, talk it over with your doctor — they can tell you whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Niacinamide

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

At food levels and standard prenatal-vitamin doses, niacinamide is considered likely safe during pregnancy and lactation. High supplemental doses, though, should be avoided unless your doctor recommends them — so if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your healthcare provider before taking this 1000 mg capsule.

At recommended amounts, niacinamide is generally well tolerated; at high doses, common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, itching, stomach upset, headache, and rash. Large doses can trigger nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and diarrhea.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Niacinamide

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Niacinamide.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 124 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Double-check this supplement if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs, or if you're on carbamazepine or primidone for seizures — niacinamide may raise their levels or effects. If you're on any prescription medication at all, verify it with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

NusaPure's Niacinamide is straightforward for pellagra and may help with acne or joint pain, but the evidence is weaker for those uses. The main thing to watch is interactions — especially if you take blood thinners or seizure medications.

Before you start, show your doctor or pharmacist this product and the list of everything else you take.

Niacin4 drug types · 124 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, niacinamide may have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, especially in patients on hemodialysis.
Several cases of thrombocytopenia have been reported for hemodialysis patients treated with niacinamide 1 gram daily. Hemodialysis patients receiving niacinamide had almost a three-fold higher risk of developing thrombocytopenia when compared with those receiving placebo.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Niacinamide might increase the levels and adverse effects of carbamazepine.
Plasma levels of carbamazepine were increased in two children given high-dose niacinamide, 60-80 mg/kg/day. This might be due to inhibition of the cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in carbamazepine metabolism. There is not enough data to determine the clinical significance of this interaction.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Primidone (Mysoline)

Niacinamide might increase the levels and adverse effects of primidone.
Case reports in children suggest niacinamide 60-100 mg/kg/day reduces hepatic metabolism of primidone to phenobarbital, and reduces the overall clearance rate of primidone; however, there is not enough data to determine the clinical significance of this potential interaction.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is limited evidence that niacinamide may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
In a case report, a patient on warfarin developed an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 8.4 after taking niacinamide 500 mg twice daily for 10 days. The patient's INR was previously stable, ranging between 2 and 3, with no other changes to current medications or diet reported. The elevated INR returned to the therapeutic range after receiving vitamin K and discontinuing niacinamide.

Niacinamide 1000 mg by NusaPure: Common Questions

Does Niacinamide 1000 mg by NusaPure interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Niacinamide 1000 mg has a known interaction with 124 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Niacinamide 1000 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is niacinamide safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Niacinamide at amounts found in food and standard prenatal vitamins is considered likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. This product delivers 1000 mg per capsule, which is a high supplemental dose — talk with your healthcare provider before taking it while pregnant or nursing to decide if it's right for you.
What's the difference between niacin and niacinamide?
They're both forms of vitamin B3, but they work differently in your body. Niacinamide (which this product contains) has its own set of effects and doesn't cause the flushing some people get from niacin.
Can this really help with acne?
The evidence suggests niacinamide may help with acne, but it's rated possibly effective — not proven. It's worth trying if you want to, but don't count on it as your main treatment without talking to your doctor.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most common are dizziness, drowsiness, itching, stomach upset, headache, and rash. At very high doses, you might also get nausea, vomiting, heartburn, or diarrhea. If any of these bother you, stop and talk with your pharmacist.
I'm on warfarin for my heart. Can I take this?
There's a case report of someone whose blood-clotting measure spiked dangerously after taking niacinamide while on warfarin. Before you start this supplement, check with your doctor or pharmacist — they may need to monitor you more closely or adjust your dose.
