    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Niacin

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question
    • Is NOW Foods Niacin bad for fatty liver?

      Niacin is generally not considered harmful for fatty liver. In fact, some studies suggest that niacin may have beneficial effects on liver health by reducing inflammation and improving lipid profiles. However, high doses of niacin can potentially cause liver damage in some individuals, so it's important to use it judiciously and monitor liver function when taking niacin supplements.

    • What food has the highest amount of niacin?

      Foods rich in niacin include liver, chicken, tuna, turkey, and salmon. Among plant-based sources, peanuts, avocados, and whole grains like brown rice and fortified cereals contain significant amounts of niacin. Liver, particularly from beef, contains the highest concentration of niacin, with about 14-16 mg per 3-ounce serving, which is nearly 100% of the recommended daily intake for adults.

    • What are the benefits of taking NOW Foods Niacin?

      NOW Foods Niacin, like other niacin supplements, can provide several health benefits. It plays a crucial role in converting food into energy, supporting proper nervous system function, and maintaining healthy skin. Niacin is also known for its potential to improve cholesterol levels by increasing HDL (good) cholesterol and lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, which may contribute to better cardiovascular health.

    • What is the safest form of niacin to take?

      The safest form of niacin to take is generally considered to be nicotinamide or niacinamide. This form of niacin is less likely to cause the flushing reaction commonly associated with nicotinic acid, another form of niacin. Nicotinamide is also less likely to cause liver toxicity or other side effects associated with high-dose niacin therapy, making it a preferred choice for many people seeking niacin supplementation.

    • Is NOW Foods Niacin OK for kidneys?

      Niacin is generally considered safe for kidney health when taken in appropriate doses. In fact, some studies suggest that niacin may have protective effects on kidney function by improving lipid profiles and reducing inflammation. However, very high doses of niacin can potentially lead to increased uric acid levels, which might be a concern for individuals with existing kidney issues or gout.

    • Is it safe to take NOW Foods, Niacin every day?

      Taking NOW Foods Niacin daily can be safe when used as directed and in appropriate doses. Niacin is an essential vitamin that our bodies need regularly. However, it's important to note that high doses of niacin can cause side effects such as flushing, itching, and in rare cases, liver problems.
