Vitamin World Niacinamide 500 mg
Brand: Vitamin World · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
Our assessment: Niacinamide 500 mg is a well-studied form of vitamin B3 that supports cellular function without the flushing side effect common to other niacin forms. The evidence shows it is generally safe at this dose, but you should understand its specific role and limitations before starting. Data on this exact product is limited, so we rely on general niacinamide research.
How it works
Think of niacinamide as a cellular energy supporter — it helps your body convert food into energy and supports DNA repair. Unlike niacin (nicotinic acid), it does not cause the uncomfortable flushing sensation because it doesn't trigger the same blood vessel response. There are no specific studies on this 500 mg dose from the provided data list, so specific journal and year information is not available.
Safety profile
Data on adverse events for this specific product is not available from the provided FDA data. General side effects from niacinamide at high doses may include mild gastrointestinal upset, but without specific report counts from the FDA data provided, we cannot detail side effect frequency for this exact supplement. Data not available for specific report counts.
Our recommendation
Start with one 500 mg tablet daily with food to minimize any potential stomach upset. Because the specific product data is limited, consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if you have liver issues or are taking medications. Data not available to support a stronger recommendation for this specific brand.
