THORNE Niacinamide – Non-Flushing Vitamin B3 Food Supplement – 180 Capsules

What is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 that plays a key role in energy metabolism and cellular health. Unlike nicotinic acid, niacinamide does not cause the characteristic 'niacin flush' – a harmless but uncomfortable warmth and redness. This makes it an ideal choice for those who want the benefits of vitamin B3 without the unwanted side effect. Each THORNE Niacinamide capsule delivers 500 mg of this essential nutrient in a non-flushing, highly absorbable form.

Health Benefits of Niacinamide

Vitamin B3 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps maintain healthy skin. Niacinamide also supports the normal functioning of the nervous system and contributes to normal psychological function. By aiding cellular energy production and the body's natural repair processes, niacinamide helps you feel your best.

Sleep Support

Niacinamide is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters that help regulate sleep-wake cycles. Many users report that taking niacinamide before bed supports a restful night's sleep.

Joint Health

As a precursor to NAD+, niacinamide supports cellular repair and helps reduce oxidative stress, which may contribute to joint comfort and mobility as part of a healthy lifestyle.

How to Take Niacinamide

The recommended dose of THORNE Niacinamide is one capsule daily, preferably with a meal. Each capsule provides 500 mg of niacinamide. Some individuals may benefit from taking it in the evening to promote restful sleep. As with any supplement, it is best to consult your health care professional to determine the appropriate dose for your needs.

Niacinamide vs Niacin – Which Form is Right for You?

The two common forms of vitamin B3 are niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide). Both support energy metabolism, but they differ in side effects and specific benefits. Niacin can cause a flushing reaction due to its vasodilating effects, while niacinamide is flush-free. Niacin is often used to support healthy cholesterol levels, whereas niacinamide is preferred for skin health and joint support. Choose niacinamide if you want vitamin B3 without the flush.

Safety and Side Effects

Niacinamide is generally well-tolerated. High doses (above 500 mg daily) may cause mild gastrointestinal upset or headache. Unlike niacin, niacinamide does not cause flushing. If you have liver disease, diabetes, or are pregnant or nursing, consult your doctor before use. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
