What Is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in energy metabolism. It is required for over 400 enzymes that convert food into usable energy. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which support cellular repair, DNA synthesis, and antioxidant defence.

KAL Niacin 50 mg Tablets provide immediate-release nicotinic acid, supplying over 300% of the daily requirement per tablet, making it a simple way to maintain adequate B3 levels.

• Contribution to normal energy-yielding metabolism

• Normal psychological function
• Maintenance of normal skin
• Maintenance of normal mucous membranes

What Causes the Niacin Flush?

Immediate-release niacin can cause a temporary warmth, tingling, or redness of the skin, known as the 'niacin flush'. This is a harmless response due to histamine release and vasodilation. For many users, the flush diminishes with continued use or by starting with a lower dose. KAL's 50 mg dose is moderate and suitable for those new to niacin who wish to acclimatise gradually.

How to Take Niacin 50 mg Tablets

As a food supplement, adults should take one tablet daily with food and water. To minimise the possibility of a flush, consider taking with a meal that contains some fat. It is not recommended to break or cut the tablet due to the ActivTab technology. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Always consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to take 50 mg of niacin daily?
