Functions of niacin in the body

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3, is an essential vitamin that is found in two forms in foods and food supplements: Nicotinic acid and niacinamide.
Both forms can be converted into the active form niacin, which could play a variety of roles in the body:

• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects: Niacin may play an important role as an antioxidant, especially in the liver.
• Cholesterol metabolism: Niacin may help regulate various blood lipid levels, including total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and influence HDL cholesterol levels.
• Cell metabolism: Niacin is necessary for the function of over 200 enzymes in the body.
  It is involved in the biosynthesis of compounds such as fatty acids and steroids.
  Niacin may also be important for the health of skin and muscle tissue.

Overdosing and flush effect

Caution: This product contains high doses of niacin, which can cause the so-called flush effect.
This leads to dilation of the capillaries and can cause tingling and reddening of the skin.
If you have no experience with high-dose niacin, it is recommended to start with a significantly lower dosage and gradually increase it.
Therapeutic doses of niacin can also have other side effects and should always be taken after consultation with a healthcare professional.
