Score 58
A specialty blend combining a very low dose of niacin with Vanadyl Sulfate, not suitable as a standalone niacin supplement.
Analysis
This product combines 20 mg of Niacin (Vitamin B3) with 20 mg of Vanadyl Sulfate. The niacin content is very low, far below typical doses for most dedicated niacin supplementation, especially for cardiovascular support. The primary focus of this product appears to be the Vanadyl Sulfate component.
For those specifically seeking niacin for its common benefits, this product would be insufficient due to its low dosage. Its inclusion in the 'Niacin' collection might be misleading for users looking for a dedicated B3 supplement. It fits a niche market for individuals interested in the combination of these two specific ingredients.
Pros
- Combines niacin with Vanadyl Sulfate
- Capsule form is generally convenient
- May appeal to a specific niche of users
Cons
- Extremely low niacin dose (20mg) for general B3 goals
- Niacin is not the primary ingredient
- Price is likely driven by the specialty Vanadyl Sulfate ingredient, not niacin
- Not cost-effective for obtaining niacin
Warnings
- This product is not a primary niacin supplement; the 20 mg dose is insufficient for most traditional niacin applications.
- Vanadyl Sulfate is a distinct compound; consult a healthcare professional about its specific use and potential interactions.

Goals
Impact
Moderate effect
Niacin is crucial for metabolism, but 20 mg is a relatively low dose, mainly serving to meet daily B3 requirements. It won't provide a noticeable 'boost' in metabolism beyond basic physiological function.
Impact
Moderate effect
While niacin plays a role in cellular health, a 20 mg dose is a maintenance level and unlikely to provide targeted benefits for hair health beyond basic nutritional needs. It's a minimal contribution.
Impact
Moderate effect
A 20 mg dose of niacin provides a baseline amount of Vitamin B3. This is unlikely to offer significant specific benefits for skin health beyond general nutritional intake, unlike higher doses or niacinamide.
Impact
Lower effect
The 20 mg dose of niacin is far too low to provide meaningful cardiovascular support typically associated with niacin. This product is not formulated for that purpose.
Impact
Lower effect
With only 20 mg of niacin, this product does not offer sufficient Vitamin B3 to contribute significantly to heart health in the way dedicated niacin supplements do. Any benefits would be minimal from the niacin component.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount per serving |
|---|---|
Niacin | 20 mg |
Vanadyl Sulfate | 20 mg |
Niacin 45
As a niacin product, it falls short due to the extremely low dosage of the B3 vitamin. It serves more as a multi-ingredient supplement than a dedicated niacin option within the collection.
