Niacin 30 mg
Score 30.0
A pre-workout supplement with a negligible amount of nicotinic acid, which will not meaningfully contribute to heart, skin, or metabolism goals from a Niacin perspective, but might induce a mild flush for some.

leaderboard Score 30.0
A pre-workout supplement with a negligible amount of nicotinic acid, which will not meaningfully contribute to heart, skin, or metabolism goals from a Niacin perspective, but might induce a mild flush for some.
VaporX5 Next Gen is primarily a pre-workout supplement designed for acute performance enhancement, featuring various blends for energy, pump, and endurance. The inclusion of Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) at a mere 30mg is extremely low for any therapeutic effect on heart health or significant metabolism boost. At this dosage, its contribution to overall B3 nutrition is minor, and it might primarily serve as a filler or a slight enhancement to the "pump" sensation, as nicotinic acid can cause vasodilation, often perceived as part of the "flush."
- Contains other ingredients for pre-workout performance (not directly related to Niacin's goals here)
- Extremely low niacin dose for any claimed Niacin-specific benefits
- Expensive per serving for Niacin content
- The 'Niacin flush' from 30mg is possible but therapeutically irrelevant
- Contains stimulants (implied by "Explosive Energy Matrix"), not suitable for general Niacin supplementation, may cause mild flush.

Categories
Niacin 20.0
While it contains Niacin, it's not a Niacin supplement in the traditional sense, and its Niacin content is too low to be effective for the usual benefits associated with Niacin.
Goals
Energy 40.0
While Niacin supports energy metabolism, the 30mg dose is minimal, and the primary energy boost from this product comes from its stimulant matrix, not the Niacin.
Metabolism Boost 20.0
The contribution of 30mg of Niacin to overall metabolic boosting is negligible compared to a dedicated B3 supplement.
Heart Health 10.0
30mg of nicotinic acid is far too low to have any significant impact on cardiovascular health, such as cholesterol management, which typically requires hundreds of milligrams.
