The Many Benefits of Niacin (Vitamin B-3)

Niacin, also known as vitamin B-3, is an essential nutrient that plays a role in countless bodily functions. Our bodies cannot produce niacin, so it must be obtained through diet or supplements. Flush-free niacin is a form of niacin that is slowly broken down in the body to yield free niacin and inositol. This gradual release of niacin allows for true niacin activity without the characteristic niacin flush that many people cannot tolerate. Let's take a closer look at some of the many benefits of niacin.

Niacin and Heart Health

Niacin has been shown to improve cholesterol levels. In a study of over 1,700 adults with high cholesterol, those who took 2 grams of niacin per day for eight weeks saw their LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels drop by an average of 25%, while their HDL ("good") cholesterol levels rose by an average of 18% (1). *

Niacin and Brain Health

Niacin plays a role in cognitive function and brain health. One study found that older adults with lower blood levels of niacin were more likely to experience declines in cognitive function over a three-year period (3).* Furthermore, niacin deficiency has been linked to dementia and Alzheimer's disease (4).* Some studies have even found that niacin supplementation can improve cognitive function in elderly adults (5).*

Niacin and Diabetes

Niacin may also help prevent or manage diabetes. One study found that people with type 2 diabetes who took 3 grams of niacin per day for 16 weeks had better blood sugar control and less insulin resistance than those who didn't take niacin (6).* Furthermore, another study found that taking 2 grams of niacin daily for 12 weeks improved blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes (7).*

As you can see, there are many potential benefits to taking niacin supplements. If you are thinking about adding niacin to your supplement regimen, be sure to speak with your healthcare provider first to ensure it is safe for you. flush-free Niacin from Now® provides 500 mg of flush-free nicotinic acid per capsule. For best results, take one or two capsules per day with food or as directed by your healthcare provider.

How Niacin Helps the Body

Niacin, also known as Vitamin B-3, is an essential B-complex vitamin. It is found in many foods such as meat, fish, eggs, and nuts. The body needs niacin to break down fats and sugars in food to produce energy. Niacin also helps keep the skin, nervous system, and digestive system healthy. Flush-free niacin contains inositol hexanicotinate, a form of niacin that consists of six molecules of niacin linked to a single inositol molecule. It is slowly broken down in the body to yield free niacin and inositol. This gradual release of niacin allows for true niacin activity without the characteristic niacin flush that many people cannot tolerate.

Niacin Deficiency

A lack of niacin can cause pellagra, a condition marked by diarrhea, dermatitis (skin inflammation), and dementia (mental deterioration). Pellagra was once common in areas where the diet consisted largely of corn but is now rare because processed corn is fortified with niacin. A deficiency of tryptophan, an amino acid needed to make niacin, can also cause pellagra. A diet lacking protein can lead to a tryptophan deficiency because tryptophan is found only in foods that contain protein. Alcoholism, some cancers, and certain drugs can also cause pellagra by interfering with the body's ability to absorb or use tryptophan or niacin.

Niacin Uses

Flush-free niacin is used as a dietary supplement and as a treatment for niacin deficiency (pellagra). It is also used for preventing heart disease; treating high cholesterol; high blood pressure; migraines; cluster headaches; dizziness; lightheadedness; blurred vision; weakness; vertigo (abnormal sensation of movement); joint pain; mouth sores; skin infections; production of sex hormones and other hormones in the body; diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes); Alzheimer's disease; cataracts; glaucoma (increased pressure within the eye that may damage nerves); scarlet fever; and HIV/AIDS. Some people apply flush-free niacin directly to the skin for preventing sunburns and treating large pores on the face ("open comedones"), acne vulgaris (common acne), red blotchy skin due to expanded blood vessels ("couperose"), and decreasing muscle soreness after exercise ("delayed onset muscle soreness" or DOMS). In addition, flush-free niacin is sometimes included in topical preparations containing other ingredients such as aloe vera gel, Manuka honey, tea tree oil, and elderberry extract for treating acne vulgaris or solar keratoses (clusters of rough-textured scaly spots on sun-exposed areas of the skin).

Niacin is an essential B-vitamin that has many benefits for maintaining a healthy body. Foods rich in protein are the best sources of niacin. Niacin deficiencies can lead to pellagra which causes dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. Flush-free niacin provides true niacin activity without causing the characteristic flush that many people cannot tolerate. Niacin can be used as a dietary supplement or treatment for deficiency but also has uses for prevent heart disease, migraines, cluster headaches, among other things when applied directly to the skin or ingested.*
