insights Analysis
21st Century Niacin 250 mg provides a moderate dose of niacin, likely in the nicotinic acid form, accompanied by calcium carbonate. This dosage is a common starting point for individuals aiming for cardiovascular benefits, though higher doses are often used for significant lipid changes. The presence of calcium is generally complementary but does not specifically enhance niacin's primary functions. Users should anticipate experiencing the characteristic "niacin flush" with this product.
- Very affordable price per serving
- Provides a moderate dose of nicotinic acid
- Causes the niacin flush
- 250mg might still be too low for significant cholesterol lowering for some individuals
- Will cause a 'niacin flush' (redness, itching, tingling).

This is a solid mid-range nicotinic acid product due to its cost-effectiveness and moderate dosage, making it a good option for those starting niacin or needing general B3 support.
Goals
A 250mg dose of niacin is very effective in supporting the metabolic pathways that convert food into energy, providing a good boost for daily energy needs.
Niacin is a crucial coenzyme in energy metabolism, and this dose actively supports the efficient breakdown of macronutrients for overall metabolic function.
250mg of nicotinic acid is a reasonable starting dose for some cardiovascular benefits, but for significant cholesterol reduction, higher doses under medical supervision are often necessary.
