Health benefits at a glance:

Niacin is known as vitamin B3 because it was the third B vitamin identified. Since the 1950s, it has been recognized for its ability to help maintain already-healthy cholesterol levels, making it one of the most researched nutrients for cardiovascular support.

Each capsule of our Vitamin B3 Niacin delivers 500 mg of this vital nutrient.

Why it works:

Niacin, or vitamin B3, offers a wide range of health benefits. Research shows it supports the metabolism of glucose, fats, and alcohol, helps maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range, and promotes cellular energy production.

The science behind the product:

Niacin is the sole B vitamin that can be synthesized in the liver from the amino acid tryptophan. On average, 1 mg of niacin can be synthesized from the ingestion of 60 mg of tryptophan.

Key benefits of vitamin B3 (niacin):

  • Cell energy – as a vitamin B coenzyme, niacin is central to the metabolic pathways that produce energy at the cellular level.

  • Efficient metabolism – B3 is required for breaking down dietary fat, carbohydrates, and alcohol. (1,2)

  • Cholesterol – the beneficial effects of niacin on blood lipids are also well-documented, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within normal range. (3,4)
