Niacinamide 500mg

Niacin (vitamin B3, vitamin PP) is one of the B vitamins, or water-soluble compounds. Its properties extend to many processes in the body. Among other things, it helps in the optimal functioning of the nervous system, the maintenance of normal psychological functions and the reduction of feelings of fatigue and tiredness. It is believed that it can support neuronal function - it is considered a key mediator of neuronal development and survival - thus playing an important role in neurodegenerative disorders and neuropathological conditions. Niacin also helps to maintain healthy mucous membranes and healthy skin, and contributes to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism. Studies have shown that niacin supplementation can improve lipid profiles in people with metabolic disorders.

Niacin exists in two main forms: as nicotinic acid (pyridine-3-carboxylic acid) and as niacinamide (also called nicotinamide or pyridine-3-carboxamide). It is involved in many biochemical reactions in the body. A niacin deficiency is associated with the development of pelagia, a disease manifested by the appearance of a pigmented rash or discolouration of the skin after sun exposure, redness of the tongue, gastrointestinal complaints (including diarrhoea, constipation and vomiting), and neurological disorders (e.g. apathy, lowered mood, fatigue, headaches, hallucinations). In order to prevent vitamin B3 deficiency, it is worthwhile to ensure a balanced diet. Niacin can be found both in products of animal origin (poultry, beef, fish) and vegetable origin (nuts, legumes, grains), as well as in fortified foods. Niacin can also be provided by appropriate supplementation.

Osavi supplement contains niacinamide (nicotinic acid amide), the active form of vitamin B3. One capsule, which corresponds to the recommended daily allowance, contains up to 500 mg of niacin (3125% RWS). The product has no unnecessary additives. Niacinamide 500 mg is recommended to be taken with or immediately after a meal.
