❓ How much niacin should I take daily?

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for niacin varies by age and gender. According to the NIH:

  • Adult men: 16mg/day
  • Adult women: 14mg/day
  • Pregnant women: 18mg/day
  • Breastfeeding women: 17mg/day

However, therapeutic doses for specific conditions like high cholesterol may range from 1,000-2,000mg daily, but these should only be taken under medical supervision. Exceeding 35mg daily from supplements can cause adverse effects. Most people get adequate niacin through a balanced diet containing meat, fish, nuts, and fortified foods.
