Features & Benefits
Niacin is a vitamin B3 supplement containing nicotinic acid, the flushing form of niacin, formulated to support cardiovascular health, healthy cholesterol levels, energy production, circulation, mood, metabolism, and healthy aging. Niacin also plays a critical role in NAD+/NADH production, cellular energy pathways, DNA repair, nervous system function, and serotonin production.
Seeking Health specifically markets this formula to support:
- Cardiovascular and circulatory health
- Healthy blood flow
- Energy production
- Mood and cognition
- Healthy metabolism
- Digestive function
- Skin and cartilage health
- Healthy cholesterol levels
- NAD+ and methylation support
The formula contains nicotinic acid, which may produce a temporary “niacin flush” involving warmth, redness, tingling, or itching due to vasodilation and increased circulation.
