What is niacin?

Niacin is a water-soluble compound that belongs to the B vitamins, sometimes also called vitamin B3 or vitamin PP (anti-lagic factor). In supplements and medicinal products available on the market, it occurs mainly in two chemical forms - as nicotinic acid or as nicotinamide (nicotinic acid amide).

The main source of both forms of niacin is diet and, to a lesser extent, the synthesis that occurs in the body. Interestingly, in plant products (cereal bran, legumes, peanuts, spinach) it occurs mainly in the form of nicotinic acid, while in animal products (poultry, pork, liver) the form of nicotinamide and its derivatives (NAD and NADP) dominates. .

How it works?

Similar to other B vitamins, niacin is responsible for a number of functions related to energy metabolism and the proper functioning of the nervous system - its intake may contribute to the improvement of psychological functions as well as reducing the feeling of fatigue and weariness. In addition, niacin helps maintain the proper condition of the skin and mucous membranes, helping to keep them healthy and in good condition.

NOTE: Taking niacin in the form of nicotinic acid causes vasodilation and may cause a flush effect that subsides within a few hours.

For people sensitive to the strong effects of nicotinic acid, we recommend our product Aliness Niacin 500 mg, containing a high dose of 500 mg of niacin in a milder form of nicotinamide.
