Metagenics Niatain Niacin B3 500 mg Sustained Release

Why Choose Niatain Niacin?

Niacin supplements can be tricky—the flushing often puts people off. Metagenics Niatain solves that with a sustained-release formula that delivers 500 mg of nicotinic acid gradually, minimising that warm, tingly sensation. It’s a professional-grade product, third-party tested and manufactured in GMP-certified facilities, so you know you’re getting a quality supplement. Plus, it’s non-GMO and gluten-free, fitting into most dietary needs.

Health Benefits of Sustained-Release Niacin

Vitamin B3 (niacin) is essential for turning food into energy. The sustained-release nicotinic acid in Niatain supports normal energy-yielding metabolism, helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes, and contributes to the normal function of the nervous system.* Research also shows niacin helps maintain already-normal cholesterol levels by supporting a healthy lipid profile.* And if you’re feeling run down, niacin aids in reducing tiredness and fatigue.*

• Energy production: As a precursor to NAD and NADP, niacin is vital for cellular respiration.*
• Cardiovascular support: Niacin helps maintain healthy lipid levels already within normal range.*
• Nervous system health: Contributes to normal nervous system function.*
• Skin health: Vitamin B3 helps maintain healthy skin integrity.*

How to Use Niatain for Best Results

Take one tablet daily with food, or as directed by your health care professional. To further reduce the chance of flushing, start with a lower dose and gradually increase over a few weeks. Avoid taking on an empty stomach. Swallow the tablet whole—do not crush or chew, as this will break the sustained-release coating. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless under medical supervision. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Safety Information

Niacin at higher doses can cause a harmless but noticeable skin flush, tingling, or warmth. The sustained-release design of Niatain significantly reduces this effect. Some people may experience mild stomach upset. If you have liver disease, an active peptic ulcer, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before using. Periodic liver function tests are recommended for long-term high-dose use. Stop use if severe flushing, rash, or any adverse reaction occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between niacin and niacinamide?

Niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide are both forms of vitamin B3. Niacinamide doesn’t cause flushing but also doesn’t support lipid metabolism. Nicotinic acid, as in Niatain, is the form studied for cardiovascular benefits.

How long before I see results?

Results vary. Some notice improved energy within days, while changes to cholesterol levels typically take several weeks to months of consistent use.

Can I take Niatain with other supplements?

Yes, but talk to your health care provider before combining with other medications or supplements, especially those affecting liver function or blood clotting.
