Niacin (vitamin B3) - nicotinic acid - flush effect Biowen 120 g

Niacin, vitamin B3, vitamin PP, nicotinic acid... Did you know that all these names refer to the same substance? They really do! Known by many names, vitamin B3 (or more widely associated as just niacin), boasts valuable properties for your body, and its deficiencies are visible to the naked eye – literally!

In a package of vitamin B3 from Biowen you will find 120 grams of powder, without unnecessary additives, simply containing 100% of this vitamin. Yes, nothing more! What sets our brand apart is precisely that the compositions of our supplements are extremely pure and free of any additives that are not needed. On the other hand, we choose proven, safe and efficient ingredients that show that good quality doesn’t have to be the most expensive at all!

Vitamin B3 will make you blush – what is the flush effect?

Interestingly, when you consume a larger portion of niacin, the effect can also be easily seen and felt. We are talking about the flush effect. It occurs when you consume a form of niacin called just nicotinic acid. This is a reddened skin effect that is visible to the naked eye. You may also feel a slight burning or itching of the facial skin. This effect is not dangerous to health. It’s simply the blood flowing more into the face, dilating the blood vessels and then the flushing and warming of the skin occurs. It subsides after about an hour. It can also occur on other parts of the body like the abdomen, thighs, ears – it’s not limited to the face, but that’s where you mainly see the flus effect.

Niacin – is it worth taking?

Supplementation with niacin or otherwise – nicotinic acid – is quite popular. Especially because vitamin B3 is water-soluble, so it is very easy to consume. It is valued for its numerous beneficial properties, which you can read more extensively in the description of the supplement’s properties, and which include: support of energy metabolism, support of the nervous system, beneficial effects on the skin and mucous membranes, reduction of fatigue, and support of the course of psychological functions!

The broad support of the body, on many levels, makes it worth taking niacin (vitamin B3), especially when we do not supply it in sufficient amounts in any other way, such as from food. This is mainly true for people who consume small amounts or no meat at all. For it is mainly in pork or poultry meat, as well as offal such as liver, that niacin is found. It can also be found in plant products, such as potatoes.

Niacin powder vs niacin in capsules

Which one to choose? Would powdered niacin or niacin in capsules be better? We opted for the powder because it gives you the ability to tailor the dosage of the supplement to your own needs. It also gives you freedom in application – you can add the powder to any liquid (as long as it’s not hot!) and drink it without any problem. Then it also doesn’t contain a peel, which is unnecessary in the case of this supplement, and some people can get tired of ingesting several capsules a day. With our niacin you have a respite and can consume the supplement in a more natural way!

Which is not to say that capsules (especially natural ones without unnecessary additives) are pure evil! A capsule is an evenly measured portion of the supplement, which can make it easier to use the products. Then you no longer need to mix the supplement with any liquid, but simply consume the finished capsule and…. done! Easy, right?

What does it mean that Niacin Biowen is 100% nicotinic acid?

Niacin Biowen is 100% nicotinic acid. This means no less, no more than that it is. 100% vitamin B3 in each serving! You won’t find any other additives in it. Each scoop of the supplement is solely nicotinic acid, with no fillers, anti-caking agents, preservatives or flavors or colors! The pure composition of our supplements is extremely important to us.

There is also a second meaning to the phrase “100% nicotinic acid.” Niacin comes in various forms. One of them is just nicotinic acid. Another form of niacin can be no nicotinamide. Nicotinamide is a milder version of niacin that doesn’t have the flush effect of nicotinic acid. Nicotinic acid is better absorbed in the body than nicotinamide, which is why we just opted for the nicotinic acid form.

1 package = 120 g of niacin!

Properties of nicotinic acid

Nicotinic acid, or vitamin B3, vitamin PP or niacin, as we mentioned in the main product description, has a wide range of properties that are beneficial to our body. It is one of those compounds in our body without which it would be really hard for us to function, and its deficiencies can be seen with the naked eye! What properties does niacin have? Why is it worth consuming vitamin B3? Check it out below!

Participation in the normal course of mental (psychological) functions

Niacin helps maintain normal psychological functions, and psychological functions are thinking, feeling or intuition, and perception (according to Jung). So you can imagine how important it is that they run in the right way, every day!

Reducing fatigue

Who among us doesn’t get tired sometimes? Sometimes it’s normal, of course, such as after an intense day. However, when it starts to interfere with our daily functioning, we feel tired and fatigued all day and don’t want to do anything, it’s a sign that we may be lacking vitamin B3!

Maintaining the proper condition of the skin and mucous membranes

This is why deficiencies in the body associated with insufficient nicotinic acid can be seen with the naked eye. They are reflected on the mucous membranes and skin. Niacin helps keep our skin healthy and takes care of our mucous membranes. What condition both of these organs are in is extremely important! They are one of the first barriers against the entry of microorganisms, bacteria or viruses into our body!

Functioning of the nervous system

This is extremely important! Our nervous system is not only how we feel, but also how our body works! It is located throughout our body and affects how we move, how our internal organs work, but also our reflexes, senses, facial expressions… You could say absolutely everything! The slightest disturbance of this system can introduce a lot of confusion in our body.

Energy metabolism

Last, but not least, the beneficial effect of niacin on the body is the effect on energy metabolism. Sound foreign? We already explain. Energy metabolism is nothing more than the fact that our body captures valuable components from food, and then stores them and passes them on, to maintain our body’s vital activities. It simply converts substances from food into the energy necessary for life and the building blocks of many elements in our body! Do you already understand why it’s so important for it to work properly?

Use of niacin powder

Our supplement is in the form of a powder, which makes it convenient to use, for example, with a meal. Dissolve 1 scoop of the product in water or juice, for example, and drink it with a meal. One scoop will give you 100% of your nicotinic acid needs for the day.
