A sustained-release niacin tablet

This is a high-potency niacin tablet, with 500 mg in each tablet. The manufacturer describes it as sustained release and notes that niacin can sometimes cause temporary flushing or itching, which it says this format is designed to minimise.

Pack and serving size

The pack holds 250 tablets with a label serving of one tablet a day taken with a meal, so a bottle covers many months of daily use.
