No-Flush Niacin Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide / Niacinamide) 490mg x 90 capsules
Description
Health Leads No-Flush Niacin provides 490mg of Vitamin B3 (490mg NE) as Nicotinamide, also known as Niacinamide, in a convenient one-a-day vegetable capsule.
Vitamin B3 is an essential water-soluble vitamin that contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function and the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
This formulation uses Nicotinamide, the non-flushing form of Vitamin B3. Unlike Nicotinic Acid, Nicotinamide does not typically produce the temporary warmth, redness or tingling sensation commonly known as a "niacin flush."
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
What Is Vitamin B3?
Vitamin B3, also known as niacin, is an essential B vitamin that must be obtained through the diet or food supplements.
It naturally occurs in several forms, the two most common being Nicotinic Acid and Nicotinamide (Niacinamide). Both contribute to the same recognised nutritional functions but differ in how they are tolerated by some individuals.
As a water-soluble vitamin, Vitamin B3 is not stored in large amounts by the body, making regular dietary intake important.
Natural food sources include poultry, meat, fish, eggs, wholegrains, peanuts and fortified cereals.
Why Choose Nicotinamide?
This product provides Vitamin B3 as Nicotinamide (Niacinamide).
Unlike Nicotinic Acid, Nicotinamide does not typically cause the temporary flushing sensation that some people experience after taking higher doses of niacin.
For those looking for a high-strength Vitamin B3 supplement without this characteristic effect, Nicotinamide offers a practical alternative.

Frequently asked questions
-
The key difference is the form of B3 used. The 50mg product uses nicotinic acid, which commonly causes a temporary skin flushing sensation. This product uses nicotinamide (niacinamide), a different form of B3 that does not cause flushing. Nicotinamide is also at a much higher dose — 490mg versus 50mg. Both forms support the same core B3 functions, but the choice between them comes down to dose requirement and tolerance of the flushing effect.
-
Yes, for most healthy adults. Nicotinamide (niacinamide) is well tolerated at higher doses than nicotinic acid and does not cause the flushing associated with that form. The EU tolerable upper intake level for nicotinamide is 900mg per day. At 490mg, this product is within safe limits. However, if you have a liver condition, consult your doctor before use as high-dose nicotinamide may affect liver enzyme levels.
-
Caution is advised. High-dose nicotinamide supplementation may affect liver enzyme levels in some individuals. If you have a liver condition or elevated liver enzymes, consult your doctor or healthcare professional before taking this product.
-
