📊 How it ranks (our editor score) — 50/100Tap to see the breakdown
🌱 What it is
Niacin (vitamin B3) is an essential nutrient the body needs for energy metabolism and nerve function.
✨ Why it's good for you
- May ease burning feet sensation tied to B3 deficiency
- Supports normal nerve and energy metabolism
- Available in flush-free (niacinamide) form
🥄 How to use it
Add a modest niacin or niacinamide supplement to the diet, or increase B3-rich foods (poultry, fish, peanuts, whole grains), starting at a low dose and staying within labeled amounts.
How much: Typically 50-100 mg daily as a general supplement; do not exceed labeled amounts without a doctor's supervision.
Why it works: Correcting a mild B3 deficiency may ease the burning-feet sensation and other symptoms sometimes linked to low B3 status; niacinamide is often preferred over niacin to avoid flushing.
⚠️ Cautions
- Niacin commonly causes facial flushing, warmth, and tingling — start low and take with food; niacinamide does not cause this.
- Do not take high or escalating doses without medical supervision — high-dose niacin can affect liver function and blood sugar.
- Avoid if you have liver disease, active peptic ulcers, or take medications for high cholesterol, without medical guidance.
