Vitamin B3 Niacin "Flush Free” - 500 mg per daily dose (1 capsule) - 90 capsules - from Unimedica

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) – a B vitamin for more energy and less fatigue

Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that plays a role in numerous bodily processes. For example, it helps reduce fatigue and contributes to normal energy metabolism.

Niacin includes the substances nicotinamide and nicotinic acid, which the body can convert into each other. As components of enzymes, these two substances are involved in more than 200 metabolic processes. Unimedica's Vitamin B3 capsules contain nicotinamide, which is absorbed slowly by the body and is therefore flush free.

Who needs Vitamin B3?

Vitamin B3 is produced by the body in small amounts. It is also present in most plant-based and animal-based foods, though usually only in small quantities. It is resistant to heat and light. Heating makes the niacin bound in food more bioavailable, but it is water-soluble. For this reason, vegetables should be steamed, or the cooking water reused to preserve the nutrient content.

Only liver, sardines, and peanuts contain high levels of niacin. This makes it more difficult for people who follow a plant-based diet, are allergic to fish or nuts, or dislike organ meats to meet their needs. Therefore, supplementing with Vitamin B3 (niacin) may be a useful addition to the diet.

Why does the body need Vitamin B3?

Niacin plays a vital role in many metabolic processes. It is essential for normal energy production from food and helps reduce fatigue. In addition, Vitamin B3 contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. It is also important for maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes.

Which foods contain Vitamin B3?

Vitamin B3 is found in both plant and animal-based foods. Particularly rich sources include liver, peanuts, and sardines. Niacin is also found in beef, chicken, lamb, and in fish such as tuna and salmon, as well as in eggs.

Among plant-based foods, yeast, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, legumes, brown rice, and wheat bran are good sources of Vitamin B3.

What does "flush free" mean?

Sensitive individuals may experience a "flush" after taking high doses of niacin — redness in the face and arms or a sensation of heat. These effects are not signs of intolerance and usually subside quickly. They are caused by niacin's vasodilating properties.

Unimedica's niacin is flush free. The nicotinamide in Unimedica's Vitamin B3 capsules is released slowly, avoiding the often uncomfortable flushing effect in sensitive individuals.
