Description
Niacinamide does not cause the vasodilation ("flush") associated with niacin. Research indicates that niacinamide may support healthy carbohydrate metabolism and protect pancreatic beta cell function. In a meta-analysis of 10 randomized controlled trials, niacinamide supplementation may have promoted healthy C-peptide levels and beta cell function. In another study, niacinamide may have helped maintain healthy C-peptide levels and carbohydrate metabolism. Niacinamide also promotes joint mobility and comfort. In a 12-week randomized double-blind trial involving 72 subjects, niacinamide may have provided statistically significant support for joint flexibility.*
