WARNING: This product provides high-strength niacin which can cause flushing. This is a very natural effect that has proposed health benefits.

Description
Vitamin B3 is a water-soluble vitamin, which means the body cannot store it. Therefore, it must be a standard part of the diet in order to avoid deficiency. The niacin form of B3 is associated with causing a flushing sensation in some individuals, known as the niacin flush.
Niacin is involved in triggering a response that causes capillaries to expand, which in turn increases blood flow to the skin's surface. For this reason, niacin is thought to offer certain related health benefits. It is advised to gradually build up to high doses of niacin because of this flushing effect.
Vitamin B3 contributes to normal energy production, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, nervous system function, brain health, and the maintenance of skin and mucous membranes.
