Niacin vs. Niacinamide

Today we’re going to cover the difference between the two forms of vitamin B3: niacin and niacinamide.


Both niacin and niacinamide chemically work similarly but have different benefits.


Niacin:

• Gives a flushing response

• Has lipid benefits

• Helps lower cholesterol

• Helps lower LDL

• Helps increase HDL

• Helps decrease inflammation in the arteries

• Supports a healthy liver

• May help with schizophrenia

• May help with drug-induced dyskinesia


Niacinamide:

• Won’t cause a flush

• Helps with certain skin conditions (acne, dermatitis, rosacea, and psoriasis)

• Helps lower histamines

• Helps reduce immune inflammatory factors

• Helps decrease flaking skin

• Helps reduce sebum

• May help reduce inflammation

• May help with arthritis

• Is used for anti-aging

• Is used for hyperpigmentation

• May help reduce anger and anxiety


Many people are discouraged from taking niacin because of potential side effects. But the dangers are rare and are typically involved in those taking very high doses over long periods and time-release niacin.
