Analysis

This Solaray product delivers 500mg of Niacin in its nicotinic acid form, which is well-documented for its positive effects on lipid profiles, making it suitable for those focused on cardiovascular support. While Solaray is a reputable brand, the product's price per serving is higher than other 500mg nicotinic acid options on the market. Additionally, users should anticipate experiencing the temporary 'niacin flush,' which is a common and harmless but often uncomfortable side effect.

Pros
  • Provides a therapeutic 500mg dose of nicotinic acid for cardiovascular benefits.
  • From Solaray, a long-standing and trusted supplement brand.
Cons
  • Causes the common 'niacin flush,' which can be intense for some individuals.
  • Higher price per serving compared to direct competitors with the same potency.
