Wonder Laboratories High Potency Time Release Niacin (Vitamin B3) 500 mg 100 Tablets - Non-GM, Gluten free Supplement

Health Benefits of Niacin Supplements

Niacin (vitamin B3) is an essential nutrient that helps your body convert food into energy and supports healthy skin and nervous system function. This high potency time release formula delivers 500 mg of nicotinic acid per tablet, designed to provide a steady release throughout the day while minimising the temporary flush often associated with immediate-release niacin. Always read the label and follow directions for use.

What Is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?

Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a key role in over 400 enzymatic reactions involved in energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cell signalling. Our time release formulation uses nicotinic acid, the form most studied for lipid support, to give you a reliable dose without the uncomfortable warming sensation.

Niacin vs. Niacinamide – Which Form Is Right for You?

Niacin comes in different forms. This product uses nicotinic acid, which can cause a temporary flush (redness, warmth, itching) due to vasodilation. Niacinamide (nicotinamide) does not cause flushing but lacks the same effects on lipid metabolism. Time release nicotinic acid, like ours, is engineered to offer the benefits of niacin while significantly reducing flushing. If you’re sensitive to flush, this formulation is an excellent choice.

Recommended Dosage and How to Take Niacin

Take one tablet daily with a meal and water. Because high doses of niacin (500 mg and above) can cause flushing if started abruptly, the time release design helps your body adjust. Do not exceed the recommended serving. Consult your healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.

Potential Side Effects and Safety Considerations

The most common side effect of nicotinic acid is a temporary skin flush, which is harmless and often subsides with continued use. Time release formulations reduce this effect. Other possible effects include mild gastrointestinal upset or dizziness. Avoid alcohol or hot beverages near the time of intake, as they may worsen flushing. If you experience persistent discomfort, discontinue use and consult a doctor. This product is Non-GM, gluten free, soy-free, vegan, and made in the USA under strict quality standards. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
