Niacinamide (Vitamin B-3) is a water-soluble derivative of niacin that does not cause the "flushing" (redness and warmth) commonly associated with standard nicotinic acid. It serves as a critical precursor to NAD+ and NADP+, essential coenzymes that power cellular energy production and DNA repair. By supporting these metabolic pathways, Niacinamide helps maintain the integrity of the skin barrier, promotes healthy joint function, and supports the nervous system's overall performance.
In Nigeria, NOW Niacinamide 500mg is a premier choice for individuals seeking to improve skin texture and manage inflammatory conditions. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure customers receive authentic, non-GMO supplements manufactured under strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards to maintain the potency of the 500mg dose.
Important: While Niacinamide is generally very well-tolerated, 500mg is a high-strength dose. It should be used as a supplement to a healthy diet and not as a replacement for medical treatment. Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have liver disease, stomach ulcers, or diabetes, as high doses of B3 can occasionally affect blood sugar levels or liver enzymes.
NOW Niacinamide 500mg Capsules are primarily used to:
Support skin health by reducing redness, blotchiness, and the appearance of enlarged pores
Enhance the skin's natural barrier (ceramide production) to retain moisture and fight environmental damage
Boost cellular energy (ATP) production to reduce feelings of fatigue and lethargy
Provide anti-inflammatory support for joint comfort and mobility
Promote a healthy nervous system and cognitive function
Assist in the management of acne and inflammatory skin conditions (when used alongside topical treatments)
This product is suitable for:
Adults looking to improve skin clarity and combat signs of aging from the inside out
Individuals suffering from chronic skin sensitivity or inflammatory redness (Rosacea-like symptoms)
People seeking to boost their metabolic energy levels without the "niacin flush"
Aging adults interested in DNA repair and longevity support (NAD+ precursors)
Not recommended for: Children unless specifically directed by a pediatrician. It is contraindicated for individuals with active peptic ulcer disease or severe hepatic (liver) impairment. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should only occur under medical supervision.
Take one 500mg capsule daily, preferably with a meal to ensure optimal absorption
Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water
For skin benefits, consistency is vital—take the supplement daily for at least 6 to 12 weeks to see visible changes
Avoid taking multiple high-dose B-complex vitamins simultaneously unless directed, to prevent excessive intake
Store in a cool, dry place after opening to maintain the stability of the water-soluble vitamin
Niacinamide is generally very safe, but some individuals may experience:
Mild stomach upset or nausea (if taken on an empty stomach)
Dizziness or a mild headache
Rare: A slight increase in blood glucose levels in diabetic patients
Rare: Temporary elevation of liver enzymes at very high, prolonged doses
Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience persistent abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or an unusual skin rash.

Will this make my face turn red and itchy like other Niacin?
No. This is Niacinamide, the "non-flushing" form of Vitamin B3. It does not dilate the small blood vessels near the skin like Nicotinic Acid does, so you get the benefits without the uncomfortable heat and redness.
Can I use this instead of my Niacinamide face serum?
For the best results, many dermatologists recommend "inside-out" treatment. Taking the 500mg supplement provides systemic support for your skin cells, while the serum works on the surface. They complement each other perfectly.
Is it good for oily skin and acne?
Yes. Niacinamide helps regulate sebum (oil) production and reduces the inflammation associated with breakouts. It is a favorite supplement for those struggling with adult acne or oily "T-zones."
Where can I purchase NOW Niacinamide 500mg in Nigeria?
