Niacin (Vitamin B3) 500 mg. - 100 Vegetarian Capsules Solgar

Contains More Niacin Than Normal Daily Requirement
The normal daily requirement for niacin varies depending on gender. The Food and Nutrition Board recommends that adult men require 16 milligrams of niacin while women only need 14 milligrams. Solgar’s niacin supplement contains 500 milligrams of niacin in each capsule. But would the high amount of niacin be just flushed away from the body? Studies show that intake of high levels of niacin is safe and is still essential in preventing a number of serious medical conditions.

Is 500-Milligrams Safe?
In general, niacin is not toxic, and the body just flushes it in the urine. However, pregnant women should take the recommended amount of niacin and should not exceed more than that for safety purposes. In fact, the value of 500 milligrams is still deemed safe. The threshold or limit of niacin one should take is 1,000 milligrams, which may lead to ulcers, stomach upset, and a decrease in blood pressure. Death due to niacin overdose is very rare thus there is no reason for one to worry about the high dose of niacin.

The Benefits Of Niacin
Niacin can help the body in the processing of alcohol and fats. It also pays a very important role in the normal functioning of the skin by stimulating the body to create pigments like melanin. Niacin also plays a vital role in regulating the metabolism of energy by the body as well as supporting a healthy heart, brain, and endocrine health. But more than these benefits, a healthy level of niacin in the body also helps lower down cholesterol levels and may also reduce the risk for fluctuating blood sugar levels and tumor related diseases.

Clean Labeling
Solgar makes supplements following Good Manufacturing Practices. The company follows clean labeling and ensures that each supplement does not contain gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, yeast, sugar, and sodium. It also does not contain artificial flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, and artificial color. Because it contains clean ingredients, it has been certified as Kosher and Halal. This makes the supplement great for people who follow different kinds of restrictions.

Aqueous Coated Tablets For Slow Release
It is beneficial to take in supplements that are not rapidly released by the body. The aqueous coated tablets improve the dissolution and disintegration of the capsule thus providing better absorption of the nutrients. This means that the capsules do not disintegrate in the stomach where the active ingredient will become deactivated. It can withstand stomach acid so that it can eventually reach the small intestines where it is absorbed.
