FAQ
- What is the suggested use for this product?
Adults are suggested to take one (1) tablet three times daily.
- What is the difference between Niacin Vitamin B3 and Niacinamide Vitamin B3?
While both are forms of vitamin B3, they do not work the same way in your body. Niacin Vitamin B3 has a greater potential effect on blood lipids, whereas Niacinamide Vitamin B3 is a better precursor for NAD+ as it activates the NAMPT enzyme. Higher doses of Niacin Vitamin B3 can also cause flushing while Niacinamide Vitamin B3 does not.
- What does 'flushing' mean?
A niacin 'flush' is a common reaction to niacin, causing a tingling, warm or itchy sensation, typically on the face, neck, ears or chest due to increased blood flow. It can result in redness similar to a sunburn.
- Can I take more than three (3) mini tabs of Niacin Vitamin B3 each day if I want a higher dose of niacin?
The low dose (three mini tabs, or 150 mg a day total) provides approximately three times the daily value of niacin. While there are research-supported benefits of taking higher doses of niacin, we recommend consulting with your health practitioner first as flushing with higher doses is common.
- Is it safe to consume this product while pregnant or nursing?
This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
- What is the purpose of the Stoplight-colored labeling?
The Stoplight System is a product-labeling program is designed to help you make informed decisions when considering your gut health. While not every product is formulated specifically for gut support, the labels – Green, Yellow or Red – provide a clear guide on how a product might impact digestion. By using this simple color-coded system, you’ll be able to determine which products best fit your personal gut health journey, making it easier to align choices with your individual wellness goals.
