Analysis

This product contains 100mg of Niacinamide, which is widely regarded by nutritionists and consumers as the preferred form of Niacin for general supplementation due to its 'no-flush' property. Unlike nicotinic acid, niacinamide does not cause the uncomfortable flushing sensation, making it much easier to take consistently. It effectively supports energy metabolism as a key component of NAD and NADP, and is also beneficial for skin health due to its anti-inflammatory properties and role in strengthening the skin barrier. While niacinamide does not significantly impact blood lipid levels (the primary 'Heart Health' benefit associated with nicotinic acid), it contributes to overall well-being as an essential B vitamin. Source Naturals is a reputable brand, and the moderate price point makes this a solid choice for those seeking the benefits of Niacin without the typical side effects.

Pros
  • Utilizes niacinamide (no-flush niacin), making it highly tolerable for daily use without uncomfortable skin flushing.
  • Supports energy production and metabolic functions effectively due to its role as a precursor to NAD/NADP.
  • Beneficial for skin health, contributing to barrier function and reducing inflammation without irritation.
  • From Source Naturals, a well-regarded brand known for quality supplements.
Cons
  • Niacinamide does not have the same significant cholesterol-lowering and HDL-raising effects as high-dose nicotinic acid, so it's not the primary choice for specific 'Heart Health' lipid management.
  • The 100mg dose might be lower than what some individuals seek for higher therapeutic effects on certain goals.
