Quantity: 100
Carlson Niacin 50 mg provides a standard dose of nicotinic acid, which is the most well-researched form of niacin for its cholesterol-lowering effects, although 50mg is typically a starting dose or for general supplementation, not a therapeutic dose for significant lipid management. This form can cause the characteristic 'niacin flush,' which some users may find uncomfortable. It is a very economical option due to its high serving count, making it a good choice for those looking for basic B3 support or to gradually increase their niacin intake to minimize flush.
- Very economical per serving due to high serving count
- Effective form (nicotinic acid) for general B3 benefits
- Good starting dose for those new to niacin to assess tolerance
- Will cause the characteristic 'niacin flush' in most users
- 50mg is not a therapeutic dose for significant cholesterol reduction
- Less suitable for specific skin health applications than niacinamide
