Food4Hope & Purple Cushhh Niacin Vitamin B3 - 60 Capsules
Active Ingredient: Niacin (Vitamin B3 / Nicotinic Acid)
Dosage: Take 2 capsules daily with food.
Essential B Vitamin for Heart, Brain & Metabolic Health
Niacin (Vitamin B3) may help with brain and vein health, lowers cholesterol, boosts brain function, eases arthritis, and improves skin health. Niacin Tablets are also known as Nicotinic acid and provide support as a B vitamin.
Occurring naturally in plants and animals, niacin is added to many foods as vitamin supplements and nutritional supplements. Niacin (nicotinic acid or vitamin B3) helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It contributes to normal psychological function and prevents niacin deficiency.
Understanding Niacin (Vitamin B3)
What is Niacin?
Niacin is a specific form of vitamin B3, which is characterized by the "niacin flush" that happens from taking it - a temporary warming, tingling, or redness of the skin caused by blood vessel dilation. This is a normal, harmless reaction that typically subsides within 30-60 minutes.
Niacin is an essential B vitamin that your body needs for:
- Converting food (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) into energy
- Supporting nervous system function
- Maintaining healthy skin
- Supporting digestive system health
- DNA repair and cell signaling
Scientifically-Supported Health Benefits
- Lowers Cholesterol: Niacin is well-established for supporting the lowering of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood. It can increase HDL ("good") cholesterol, lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and reduce triglycerides. Often used as part of cholesterol management under medical supervision.
- Supports Heart Health: By lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, niacin supports cardiovascular health. It may help lower heart attack risk in people with high cholesterol and is used for treating coronary artery disease. Improves blood circulation throughout the body.
- Boosts Brain Function: Niacin contributes to normal psychological function, supports cognitive health and mental clarity, may help with memory loss and mental confusion, and supports neurotransmitter production for optimal brain function.
- Supports Vein & Circulation Health: Niacin improves blood circulation by dilating blood vessels, supports healthy blood flow to extremities, may help with poor circulation, and promotes vascular health.
- May Help with Depression: Niacin has been shown to have benefits in the treatment of depression by supporting neurotransmitter function, contributing to normal psychological function, and supporting overall mental health.
- Eases Arthritis: May help ease arthritis symptoms by reducing inflammation, supporting joint health, and improving mobility and comfort.
- Improves Skin Health: Niacin supports healthy skin by improving skin barrier function, reducing inflammation, supporting skin cell turnover, and promoting overall skin health and appearance.
- Fights Fatigue: Niacin is used to treat fatigue by supporting energy metabolism, helping convert food into usable energy, and supporting cellular energy production.
- Acts as Antioxidant: Niacin acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage, supporting DNA repair, and promoting overall cellular health.
- Prevents Niacin Deficiency: Used for treating and preventing a lack of natural niacin in the body. Niacin deficiency (pellagra) can cause skin problems, digestive issues, and mental symptoms.
- Supports Metabolism: Helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins, and fats efficiently, supporting healthy weight management and energy levels.

Usage Instructions
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules daily with food.
Best Time: Take with meals to reduce the likelihood and intensity of the "niacin flush" (temporary skin warming/redness).
Understanding the Niacin Flush:
- Niacin can cause a temporary "flush" - warmth, tingling, or redness of the skin
- This is a normal, harmless reaction caused by blood vessel dilation
- Typically occurs 15-30 minutes after taking niacin and subsides within 30-60 minutes
- Taking niacin with food can reduce the intensity of the flush
- The flush often decreases with continued use as your body adapts
Best Results: Consistent daily use for 8-12 weeks allows niacin to support cholesterol levels, cardiovascular health, brain function, and overall wellness. Continue long-term under medical supervision for sustained benefits.
