Does it help lower triglycerides levels?

The niacinamide version of vitamin B is effective for skin and arthritis. The niacin or nicotinic acid version of vitamin B is effective for cardiovascular health. But remember, cholesterol level itself is a poor indicator of cardiovascular health. It's the composition and nature of the cholesterol that matters. One of the best markers of cardiovascular health is the ratio of triglycerides to HDL. Note that your LDL isn't even part of the measurement. That's because if your Triglycerides/HDL ratio is low, the probability is very high that your LDL consists of the large, boyant particles, as opposed to the small particles--and that's a good thing, even if your LDL is relatively high, causing your overall cholesterol level to appear high. You want that Triglycerides/HDL ratio to be below 3. And very fit people have ratios below 1. I find that a combination of high-omega 3 fish oil and niacin is a great combo for cardiovascular health. You just have to work with your doctor to find the right amounts of each to take daily to get the best results.

is this the kind that is no flush? some reviews say it is but other reviews say it causes the flush. the description says it is no flush.

Niacinamide (this one) is the one that does not give a flush. Niacin is the kind that many people will experience a flush from.

how does niacinamide differ from nicotinamide?

I Googled the difference and this is what came up: "Nicotinamide (NAM), also known as niacinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 found in food and used as a dietary supplement and medication. ... While nicotinic acid (niacin) may be used for this purpose, nicotinamide has the benefit of not causing skin flushing." I take this product twice daily (I take it on an empty stomach when I get up and right before bed, but you could take it with food if you wanted to) it does not bother my stomach and I do not get skin flushing. I've had 4 surgeries to remove basal cell carcinoma and decided to give this a try. I'm also using a B3 Niacinamide serum on my face & neck 2x day. I don't tknow if there is any way to know if it truly helps, but I figured it can't hurt.

What is the country of origin this is sourced from?

I asked Nutricost and they replied, "Nutricost's products are manufactured in Vineyard, Utah in a GMP compliant, FDA registered facility and they source the best ingredients from reputable sources from all over the world including the USA. All ingredients are always first tested by independent 3rd party, ISO-accredited laboratories before being used and then the final product also undergoes testing by 3rd party, ISO-accredited laboratories as well.

High-Quality Vitamin B3 Niacinamide 500 mg

I’ve been taking Nutricost Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 500 mg for a few weeks, and I’m impressed with the quality and value of this supplement. The capsules are easy to swallow and don’t have a strong taste, which makes daily use convenient. I chose niacinamide to support overall energy metabolism and maintain healthy skin, and it seems to work well as part of my daily routine. I appreciate that Nutricost provides a high-strength, pure formula without unnecessary additives. The bottle is large and well-sealed, keeping the capsules fresh and protected. What I like: • 500 mg strength, convenient for daily use • Easy-to-swallow capsules • Pure, high-quality ingredients • Large bottle offers great value

Good for the price.

I do feel some benefits, such as a bit more energy and mental clarity, but haven’t yet experienced the premium brand (I won’t state the name) I do however intend to try them at some point, for a comparison baseline. Before I do, I will stop consuming these tablets to ensure I see a difference without taking them, to rule out a placebo effect. Once I have tried the premium brand, and established if they are worth it, or this brand provides the same benefits, I will maybe purchase again and update with a new review. Happy so far.
