Solgar Niacin (Vitamin B3) 100 mg Tablets

What Is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?

Need a little extra help turning your food into fuel? Vitamin B3—commonly called niacin—is a water-soluble B vitamin that does just that. It's essential for converting the food you eat into usable energy, and it also plays a part in DNA repair and the production of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), a coenzyme involved in over 400 enzymatic reactions. As a foundational nutrient, niacin helps your body's energy production systems and keeps cellular function healthy. Solgar Niacin delivers 100 mg of this important vitamin in a convenient tablet form.

Health Benefits of Niacin Supplements

Niacin supports normal energy-yielding metabolism, helping your body break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins efficiently. It also helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes, and contributes to normal nervous system function. In terms of heart health, niacin helps keep cholesterol levels already in the normal range by promoting proper lipid metabolism. Additionally, it supports healthy blood circulation and helps maintain already-normal homocysteine levels as part of a balanced diet.

Niacin Forms and Why Solgar Stands Out

Niacin comes in two common forms: nicotinic acid (which can cause a temporary, harmless flush) and niacinamide (which doesn't). Solgar Niacin uses nicotinic acid, the form that's been most studied for cardiovascular support and energy metabolism. The flushing effect—a sensation of warmth or redness on the skin—is normal and usually fades with continued use or by starting with a lower dose. Solgar's formula is non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free and kosher, making it suitable for a wide range of diets. Solgar has been a trusted brand for over 70 years, producing supplements in small batches with high-quality ingredients.

How to Take Niacin: Dosage and Considerations

Adults should take one (1) tablet daily, preferably with a meal. The 100 mg dose is a moderate level great for general well-being. Some people might want to start with a lower dose (e.g., 50 mg) to reduce flushing and then gradually increase. Don't exceed the recommended dose without checking with a health care professional, as doses above 500 mg need medical supervision. Always consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, on medication, or have a medical condition.

Always read the label and follow directions for use.

Potential Side Effects and Safety

The most common side effect from nicotinic acid is flushing—redness, warmth or itching of the skin—which is temporary and not harmful. Taking niacin with food and avoiding hot drinks at the same time can help reduce flushing. Other possible effects include stomach upset, headache or dizziness. If you have persistent discomfort or any severe reactions, stop use and see a health care provider. Solgar Niacin is free from artificial flavours, sweeteners, preservatives and colours, lowering the risk of sensitivities.
