Niacin exists in different forms:
- Nicotinamide has a very high tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 900 mg, i.e. what can be taken daily without adverse effects, and is recommended by the federal BfR as the best form of niacin.
- Nicotinic acid should be used with caution, having a UL of 10 mg per day.
- Higher dosages of the two previous forms in particular can lead to the harmless but unpleasant niacin flush. Inositol hexanicotinate is a form of niacin that prevents this.
