FLUSH FORM B3 · EUROFINS TESTED NMN · NO FILLERS · UK SINCE 2016
NMN 400mg & B3 Nicotinic Acid 100mg Capsules
Two Ingredients · Size 0 Vegan Capsule · One A Day · Six Authorised Niacin Claims
Food supplement — not a medicine.
QUICK ANSWER
Each 500mg capsule holds 400mg NMN and 100mg nicotinic acid — two ingredients in a size 0 vegan HPMC shell, no fillers or binders. One capsule daily with food. The nicotinic acid is the flush form of vitamin B3, so expect a flush; taking it on a full stomach is what keeps it low. The niacin carries six authorised health claims. NMN has none, so it is described by specification only.
🔥 THIS ONE FLUSHES — READ BEFORE ORDERING
This is nicotinic acid, the flush form of vitamin B3. At 100mg roughly half of people will feel a flush — warmth, redness, tingling or itching across the face, neck and chest. It usually begins 10 to 20 minutes after taking it and passes within about two hours.
It is harmless and it is not an allergic reaction. Nicotinic acid triggers the release of prostaglandins in the skin, which widen the small blood vessels near the surface. More blood flows close to the skin, and that produces the warmth and colour. It is the expected effect of this form of B3, not a fault with the product.
To keep it as low as possible:
▸ Always take it on a full stomach — the single biggest factor, because slower absorption blunts the peak
▸ Take it in the morning with a proper meal rather than a snack
▸ Avoid alcohol and hot drinks around the time you take it — both widen blood vessels themselves
▸ Never take more than one capsule a day
If you would rather not flush at all, this is the wrong product. Choose our B3 Nicotinamide 500mg capsules instead — same vitamin, same six authorised claims, no flush.
A BUYER PUT IT BETTER THAN WE COULD

What Niacin Does — All Six Authorised UK Health Claims
Niacin carries six authorised claims on the GB register. Most listings use two or three. Here are all six in their exact authorised wording, each with a plain explanation of what the wording actually means — because the approved phrasing is precise rather than clear.
⚡ "Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism"
Niacin is a building block of NAD and NADP, the two coenzymes your cells use to release energy from food. The claim covers that conversion process. It is not a stimulant — it will not feel like caffeine and it does not create energy from nowhere.
😴 "Niacin contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue"
The same underlying role. Because niacin sits inside the pathways that turn food into usable energy, a normal supply supports that process working as it should. Supporting normal energy production — not producing extra.
🧠 "Niacin contributes to normal psychological function"
"Psychological function" means the brain's ordinary working processes — thinking, concentration, memory. It is not a claim about mood, stress or anxiety, and "normal" means keeping a function that already works working, rather than improving it.
🔌 "Niacin contributes to the normal function of the nervous system"
Nerve cells need niacin to signal properly, and they are among the most energy-hungry cells in the body. Maintaining a system that works — not enhancing it beyond normal.
✨ "Niacin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin"
Skin cells turn over quickly and depend on the energy pathways niacin sits in. Keeping healthy skin healthy. Not a claim about appearance, ageing, wrinkles or any skin condition.
💧 "Niacin contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes"
Mucous membranes are the moist linings of the mouth, nose and digestive tract. Like skin, these cells renew rapidly and rely on the same energy pathways. Rarely used on listings because most sellers do not explain what it means.
Why the wording is fixed: these phrases cannot be reworded or made to sound better — they are the exact authorised text, and anything more appealing would be an unauthorised claim. NMN has no authorised claims at all, so nothing here claims anything for it.
The NMN — Measured, Not "Conforms"
Most supplement certificates report heavy metals as a pass or fail with no numbers behind it. Ours were measured by Eurofins, an independent UK laboratory, by ICP-MS. Here are the results.
Heavy metals — measured
Lead (Pb) — 0.008 mg/kg
Cadmium (Cd) — <0.001 mg/kg
Arsenic (As) — 0.013 mg/kg
Mercury (Hg) — <0.005 mg/kg

Purity 99.99% by HPLC

CAS 1094-61-7 · C11H15N2O8P

β-NMN is the form that occurs naturally in human cells. Lower-grade material can contain α-NMN or a mix of isomers — the same molecule by formula, but not the form the body produces. Certificates for both ingredients available on request.
Nicotinic Acid Or Nicotinamide? Not Interchangeable
| Nicotinic acid (this product) | Nicotinamide | |
|---|---|---|
| Flush | Yes — about half at 100mg | No |
| Published upper level | 10mg per day | 900mg per day |
| Basis of that limit | Flushing, not organ toxicity | Liver effects at high intakes |
| CAS number | 59-67-6 | 98-92-0 |
| Authorised claims | The same six | The same six |
We publish the upper level rather than hiding it. The 10mg figure was derived using flushing as the measured endpoint, not organ damage, which is why almost every nicotinic acid product on the market sits well above it — including this one at 100mg. That context matters, and a listing that states no maximum at all is not being straight with you. Genuine concern attaches to sustained gram-level intakes, which is why the one-a-day ceiling here is not a suggestion.

👋 First Time With Flush Niacin? Start Here
Buy the 10-capsule sample first. Around half of people flush at this strength and half don't, and there is no way to know which you are until you try it. Ten capsules tells you for a few pounds instead of committing to a six-month pack.
Take the first one on a weekend morning, after a full breakfast. Not before work, not on an empty stomach, not before anything where going pink would bother you. You will know within twenty minutes how you respond.
What to expect if you do flush: warmth and redness across the face, neck and chest, sometimes tingling or itching. It builds over about ten minutes, peaks, then fades. Most people are back to normal well inside two hours. It is uncomfortable rather than painful, and it is not dangerous.
If it settles, move up to a bigger pack. If it doesn't, switch to the no-flush nicotinamide version — same vitamin, same six authorised claims, no flush. You lose nothing.
📋 How To Take It
1. One capsule a day. Never more. One capsule gives 100mg of nicotinic acid — already ten times the published upper level. Two would be twenty times, and a considerably stronger flush.
2. Morning, on a full stomach. A proper meal, not a snack. This is what keeps the flush low to none for most people.
3. Skip alcohol and hot drinks around it. Both widen blood vessels themselves and stack with the niacin.
4. Expect the flush the first few times. Many people find it lessens as they continue. If it stays uncomfortable, this form is not for you.
5. Keep the pack in the fridge and swallow whole with water.
⚠️ DO NOT BUY THIS IF
▸ You have liver disease of any kind — nicotinic acid is contraindicated
▸ You have an active stomach ulcer — nicotinic acid is documented to activate peptic ulcers
▸ You have gout — niacin competes with uric acid for removal by the kidneys
▸ You have diabetes — niacin can raise fasting blood sugar
▸ You have unstable angina or a recent heart attack
Speak to your GP first if you:
▸ Take statins — the combination carries a raised risk of muscle problems
▸ Take blood pressure medication, blood thinners or thyroid medication
▸ Drink more than moderately, or have a history of gallbladder problems
Adults 18+ only. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Stop taking it and seek advice if you get severe or prolonged flushing, yellowing of the skin or eyes, persistent nausea, dark urine or unusual muscle pain or weakness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this make me flush?
Probably — about half of people do at 100mg. Warmth, redness and tingling starting 10 to 20 minutes in and passing within about two hours. Harmless, and a full stomach is what reduces it.
How many capsules a day?
One, with food. Never more. One capsule is already ten times the published upper level for supplemental nicotinic acid.
Why nicotinic acid rather than nicotinamide?
Both carry the same six authorised claims. Nicotinic acid is the original flush form and the one most older research used. Nicotinamide does not flush and has a far higher upper level. The difference is the flush, not the claims.
Does the NMN do anything?
There are no authorised GB health claims for NMN, so we cannot and do not tell you what it does. What we can tell you is what is in it: 99.99% purity, beta form, with measured heavy metal figures from an independent laboratory. Judge it on that.
Why does it need refrigerating?
NMN degrades with heat and humidity. Keep the pack sealed and in the fridge, out of direct sunlight.
Is there a smaller size to try first?
Yes — a 10 capsule sample size. Sensible on a flush product, because it lets you find out how you respond before committing to a full pack.
