Niacin 100 mg 100 Tablets

The B-vitamins are essential to your health. Although they’re equally important, niacin (also known as vitamin B-3) tends to be ignored. This is despite the fact that at least 200 enzymes in your body rely on the two niacin cofactors. These coenzymes—nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NAD phosphate (NADP)—are metabolically active, and are involved in oxidative reactions that unlock glucose energy from fat, protein, and especially carbohydrates.

Niacin also supports your nervous system, while assisting your adrenal glands in producing some needed hormones. In addition, it promotes healthy, shiny eyes, skin, and hair.

Each tablet of PureFormulas’ Niacin 100 mg contains 100 milligrams of pure niacin. For greater convenience, you can also split each tablet in half for a lower dosage of 50 milligrams. Either way, it can help prevent signs of a mild niacin deficiency: these include vomiting, canker sores, fatigue, mild depression, and indigestion. Excess alcohol consumption can result in becoming deficient in vitamin B-3.

This supplement can also prevent and treat severe niacin deficiency, also known as pellagra. Symptoms of pellagra include scaly, cracked skin; diarrhea; a swollen, bright red tongue; and burning in the mouth. Extremely high levels of niacin may be toxic; fortunately, your kidneys excrete excess niacin that is first metabolized by your liver.
