<h3>How does Niacin function in our body?</h3>
<p>Niacin is also known as Vitamin B3. The two most common forms of niacin in food and supplements are <strong>nicotinic acid</strong> and <strong>nicotinamide</strong>. This mighty <strong>b vitamin</strong> plays an important role in our body:</p>
<ul>
<li>It provides <strong>energy</strong> by supporting fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.</li>
<li>Supports <strong>hormone</strong> production, red blood cell formation, and the health of the <strong>skin</strong>, <strong>nerves</strong>, and the digestive system.</li>
<li>Its consumption is crucial in maintaining overall well-being.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Niacin rich foods</strong> include liver, chicken, tuna, salmon, brown rice, avocados, peanuts, mushrooms, green peas and sunflower seeds.</p>
<h3>Niacin for skin health</h3>
<p>Niacin's role in supporting skin health and well-being is the subject of a lot of scientific investigation. Research suggests niacin's role in supporting skin health and maintaining skin wellness. It’s a popular ingredient in skincare, as it supports skin cell turnover and skin tone.</p>
<h3>Niacin contraindications</h3>
<p>The niacinamide form can initiate a sudden hot tingling flush in some individuals, which is temporary and harmless.</p>
<p>People who react with a ‘niacin flush’ may prefer the nicotinic acid form, which is non-flushing.</p>
<p>Niacin can be taken in a form of B complex supplement - providing all the B group vitamins in the correct ratio - for optimal effect.</p>
