Product Details
Niacin is a water-soluble nutrient crucial to energy transfer reactions, particularly the ones that help your body metabolise glucose (sugar), fat and alcohol. Niacin also helps metabolise the foods you eat and, like many B vitamins, promotes healthy cellular energy production.
Health benefits of B3 niacin
Cholesterol — Niacin has beneficial effects on blood lipids, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within normal range.
Cellular energy — Vitamin B coenzymes (such as niacin) are crucial to the metabolic pathways that generate cellular energy.
Metabolism — Vitamin B3 is required for the body to utilise dietary fats and carbohydrates, and to metabolise alcohol.
Those seeking to utilise niacin’s ability to help maintain already-normal cholesterol levels should start with 500 mg a day, gradually increasing their dose to between 2 and 3 grams a day. Be aware: niacin supplementation can cause temporary flushing, itching, rash or gastric disturbances.
Each capsule of Life Extension® Vitamin B3 Niacin delivers 500 mg of this vital nutrient. Support healthy cellular energy, maintain cholesterol already within normal range, and promote healthy fat, carbohydrate, and alcohol metabolism with Vitamin B3 Niacin.
