A basic nicotinic acid supplement at a lower dose, suitable for general B vitamin support but likely insufficient for therapeutic heart health benefits, and will cause the niacin flush.
Nature's Way Niacin 100 mg provides nicotinic acid, the form of niacin historically used for its cardiovascular benefits, though at 100mg it's a relatively low dose for significant cholesterol modulation. This dose is more commonly used for general B vitamin supplementation and energy production. A key consideration with nicotinic acid is the "niacin flush," a temporary redness, itching, or tingling sensation that can occur, which many users find uncomfortable.
- Very low price per serving
- Simple formulation with pure nicotinic acid
- Low dose for significant heart health benefits
- Causes the 'niacin flush' which can be uncomfortable for many users
- May cause 'niacin flush' (redness, itching, tingling). Start with a low dose and increase gradually if tolerated.

Niacin 70.0
This product is a straightforward niacin supplement, providing the traditional nicotinic acid form. Its effectiveness is limited by the relatively low dosage for some common uses of niacin.
Goals
Energy 80.0
As a B vitamin, niacin is crucial for metabolic pathways that convert food into energy. 100mg is an effective dose for supporting daily energy metabolism.
Metabolism Boost 80.0
Niacin is a vital coenzyme in many metabolic reactions, including those involved in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, thus supporting overall metabolic function effectively at this dose.
Skin Health 70.0
Niacin contributes to overall skin health and repair processes. However, niacinamide is generally preferred by dermatologists for direct topical and oral skin benefits due to its anti-inflammatory properties and lack of flush.
