What Is Vitamin B3 (Niacin)?

Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in energy metabolism. It is required for the proper function of over 400 enzymes involved in converting food into usable energy. Niacin is also a precursor to the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which support cellular repair, DNA synthesis, and antioxidant defense.

KAL Niacin 50 mg Tablets provide a reliable dose of this important nutrient in its immediate-release form (nicotinic acid). Each tablet delivers 50 mg, supplying over 300% of the Daily Value, making it a convenient choice for those looking to maintain adequate vitamin B3 levels.

How to Take Niacin 50 mg Tablets

As a dietary supplement, adults take one tablet daily with food and water. To minimize the flush, consider starting with half a tablet (breaking or cutting is not recommended due to ActivTab technology) or consult a healthcare professional. Do not exceed recommended serving size. Niacin is best absorbed when taken with food, particularly a meal containing some fat.

KAL Niacin Tablets are formulated with ActivTab Technology, ensuring the tablet disintegrates within 30 minutes according to USP standards, promoting reliable delivery.

What Causes the Niacin Flush?

Immediate-release niacin can cause a temporary warming, tingling, or redness of the skin, known as the "niacin flush." This is a harmless and well-understood response caused by the release of histamine and vasodilation. For many, the flush diminishes with continued use or by starting with a lower dose. KAL Niacin 50 mg tablets are a moderate dose, making them suitable for those new to niacin who want to gradually acclimate.
