Source Naturals Niacinamide B-3, 100 mg Dietary Supplement - 250 Tablets

good item works as it should

I used Slo-niacin 750mg daily for 4 months at dinner time, two years ago. It helped me loose weight. But it did create heavy flushing for me. While taking it I felt I could not drink alcohol, because it made the flushing worse. When I eat healthy, the flushing felt kind of nice. Also sometimes i would get dizzy when working out. So for me slo-niacin could only be temporary.I was missing the feeling and benefits of slo-niacin, so I tried smaller doses of both niacin and nicotinamide. I tried 100mg, 200mg, and 300mg of each. For me, with no particular health issues at the moment, I felt having 200mg nicotinamide at breakfast and 200mg nicotinamide at dinner felt great. I had less appetite, and craved healhtier foods more. Also it had a calming effect. I was able to drink a few beers a week with nicotinamide at this does and not feel any negative effects (for me that 5 beers total in 1 week, 1-2 per day, three days a week).So for me personally, nicotinamide is good for overall health. I like the skin benefits, mood calming, the feeling of liking healthier foods more, and appetite suppressant effects.In the near future I will likely reduce my 400mg per day to 100mg a day to see if it still has a similar effect, and then likely will move it up to 200mg per day. I try to just take the amount I need, and no more. Because taking too much of a supplement can deplete other nutrients.

Easy to take, good value for the money.

Will buy again.

Best one available!

I've just started taking these and picked these as they should be no flushing. I take them every other day as I alternate with other supplements with B vitamins. I'll update if I have anything to add.

I have terrible hand arthritis, esp in my fingers and lower thumb joints. I started on Boron, which helps keep the pain at bay, but it did nothing for the morning stiffness. I'd wake up after a nap or from nighttime sleep barely able to move my fingers. Heaven forbid I needed to open a top or jar. After researching the boron, I a medical article on niacinamide: "The effect of niacinamide on osteoarthritis: a pilot study" Google arthritis+niacinamide and you should discover many articles. But the dosage should start off low and work your way up. I started off with 100 mg several times a day up until I took about 10 a day. When I've skipped, the morning stiffness comes back in a day or two. You want to spread out the dose and build up. Smaller is better as it has a short half life. I'm going to try upping it to 250 mg several times a day, since I've had so much improvement. (I'm not ready to give up dairy as I hear this could be the cause. Love my cheese!) I'm just surprised the my RA hadn't suggested this. He knows I'm taking it, now, and how much, so I know that's not an issue. But this should be first defense before taking any drugs. I take no painkillers for arthritis now. This stuff works.

This product was amazing the first time I ordered it. The second order on June 15, 2020 was not as good. Someone must have fallen asleep in the quality control department. My husband takes it daily per Dermatogogy recommendations to prevent skin cancer. This batch makes him flush. He’s taken it for a year and no issues but I ordered 2 bottles in June and he flushed for 30-60 minutes every time he takes it. The first bottle we bought did not do this. We ordered two bottles I. June 2020 and both make him flush. Please fix this issue. We can buy cheap drug store brands and flush. We paid a premium for this one and are still flushing.
