NOW Foods Time Release Niacin Vegetarian 500 mg - 100 Tablets This extra high potency tablet should be taken under doctor's supervision. Niacin can normally cause itching or flushing but this sustained release tablet minimizes those problems. The body uses the water-soluble vitamin B3 in the process of releasing energy from carbohydrates. It is needed to form fat from carbohydrates and to process alcohol. The niacin form of vitamin B3 also regulates cholesterol, though niacinamide does not. Where is it found?The best food sources of vitamin B3 are peanuts, brewer's yeast, fish, and meat. Some vitamin B3 is also found in whole grains. Symptoms caused by niacin supplements, such as flushing, have been reduced with sustained-release (also called 'time-release') niacin products.
