Niacin trade name?

What is the trade name for niacin (vitamin B3)?

Niacin is most commonly sold under the generic name “niacin” and under multiple brand (trade) names, which can vary by country and by formulation (immediate-release vs extended-release).

If you tell me your country or the niacin strength (for example, 500 mg, 1000 mg) and whether it’s “extended-release,” I can narrow it to the most likely trade name(s).

Why do niacin products have different brand names?

Niacin brands often differ based on:
- Release type (immediate-release vs extended-release)
- Form (for example, niacin tablets vs combination products)
- Manufacturer

Those differences matter because “niacin” may be marketed with different brand names even though the active ingredient is the same.

Is your “niacin” actually one of the other vitamin B3 forms?

Some products marketed around “niacin” may use related active ingredients such as:
- Nicotinamide (niacinamide) instead of niacin
- Other B3-related forms

If you share what the label says (active ingredient line), I can identify the exact product.

What information can you share so I can identify the trade name precisely?
