Life Extension Vitamin B3 Niacin 500 mg
Vitamin B3 (niacin) is an essential vitamin that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through diet. It is available on the market in two main forms: niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide). Both forms perform the same basic function in the body—they serve as precursors to the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which are involved in energy metabolism. This product contains niacin in the form of nicotinic acid, which differs from niacinamide by its accompanying “flush” effect.

Recommended dosage
1 capsule daily, ideally with a meal. We recommend drinking plenty of water with it. If you are new to niacin, you can take half a capsule for the first few days and gradually move to the full dose. A pack of 100 capsules corresponds to approximately three months of daily use.
Warning
Food supplement. Not intended for children or pregnant and breastfeeding women. The product contains 500 mg of niacin in the form of nicotinic acid, which can cause a temporary “flush” effect (skin redness, feeling of warmth) typically 15–30 minutes after taking; this reaction usually subsides on its own within an hour. If you have any health problems, are taking medication, or are considering long-term use of high doses of niacin, we recommend consulting a doctor. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
What is the “flush” effect?
Taking nicotinic acid in doses above approximately 50 mg can cause a temporary widening of the superficial blood vessels in the skin, which manifests as redness of the face, neck, and upper torso, possibly with a feeling of warmth or mild tingling. The flush usually occurs 15–30 minutes after taking and subsides on its own within about an hour. For most people, the intensity gradually decreases with regular use.
If the reaction is unpleasant, you can:
Take the capsule with a meal—food slows down absorption and reduces the intensity of the reaction.
Start with half a capsule and gradually increase the dose.
Split the daily dose into two smaller ones.
