From the age of 25, collagen production decreases by approximately 1% per year — gradually leading to drier and looser skin. Beauty supplements provide building blocks and cofactors from which the body can build these structures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scientific basis for \"drinking collagen to get beautiful skin\" is nuanced. The body breaks down collagen peptides into amino acids — which can be used anywhere, not specifically for the skin. Nevertheless, clinical studies (especially with 5-10 g\/day collagen peptides for 8-12 weeks) consistently show improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle depth. The effect seems to work by stimulating the body's own collagen production through the amino acids glycine and proline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C is the only EFSA-recognized component for collagen formation for the skin. It is an indispensable cofactor in the hydroxylation of proline and lysine — without sufficient vitamin C, the body cannot make functional collagen. For those supplementing with collagen, a vitamin C supplement of 500 mg\/day is a logical step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a complete beauty theme, add: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zinc-zinkoxide\"\u003ezinc\u003c\/a\u003e (EFSA claim for skin), \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/biotine\"\u003ebiotin\u003c\/a\u003e (EFSA claim for skin and hair), astaxanthin (UV protection and antioxidant) and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3-vetzuren\"\u003eomega 3\u003c\/a\u003e DHA (skin fatty acids).

The cause can be iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, thyroid issues, sleep deprivation, vitamin D deficiency, or chronic stress. Before you start stacking supplements: have ferritin, B12, vitamin D, and TSH measured. Only then can you apply targeted supplementation.

Product Description
Vitamin B3 supports energy production because it is part of two important coenzymes in the body: NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These two substances activate more than two hundred specific enzymes (dehydrogenases) that are important for electron transport and cellular respiration (dissimilation). Cellular respiration is the process by which ATP (adenosine triphosphate, a carrier of chemical energy) is generated in a mitochondrion (the "powerhouse" of the cell) by the combustion of nutrients. Vitamin B3 can help reduce fatigue. It is also good for the skin, mucous membranes, the nervous system, and normal psychological function. There are two forms of vitamin B3: niacin (also known as nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (also known as nicotinamide). Niacin is known to cause a "flush," where the skin becomes red and warm, often accompanied by a burning, tingling, and/or itching sensation. Niacinamide is a form of niacin with an amide group attached and does not cause a "niacin flush" in this form. Vitamin B3 500 mg from Vitals offers a high dosage in pure form. The raw material is in a plant-based capsule from cassava and is supplemented with an excipient from rice. Preferably use/recommend vitamin B3 in combination with a vitamin B complex or multivitamin (as B vitamins work highly synergistically). Authorized health claims: supports energy production, can help reduce fatigue, is good for the skin and mucous membranes, supports the normal functioning of the nervous system, contributes to normal psychological functioning (such as concentration, learning ability, and reasoning ability).
Usage
Usage: Take 1 capsule daily with a meal and water. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Please note: Niacinamide does not cause a flush (redness and itching) like niacin.

FAQs
What is niacinamide?
Niacinamide (also known as nicotinamide) is a form of vitamin B3. It is the amide variant of niacin (nicotinic acid). Unlike niacin, niacinamide does not cause a 'flush' (redness and warmth of the skin).
What is the difference between niacinamide and niacin?
Niacin (nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (nicotinamide) are both forms of vitamin B3. Niacin can cause a flush in which the skin becomes red and warm. Niacinamide has an amide group attached to it and does not cause this reaction.
What does vitamin B3 do in the body?
Vitamin B3 supports energy production and can help reduce fatigue. It is part of the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which activate more than two hundred enzymes. In addition, vitamin B3 is good for the skin, mucous membranes, the nervous system, and normal psychological functioning.
Why combine with a B-complex?
B vitamins largely work together. It is therefore advisable to combine vitamin B3 with a vitamin B-complex or multivitamin.
How long do 100 capsules last?
With the recommended daily dose of 1 capsule, a pot of 100 capsules is sufficient for 100 days.
Is the product vegan?
Yes, the product is 100% vegan. The capsule is made from pullulan (from fermented cassava starch).
