Maximum safe daily dose of niacin (vitamin B3)

The maximum safe dose of niacin from supplements is 35 mg a day. Higher doses may cause side effects! Food doesn’t cause toxicity, though.

There are many vegan foods high in niacin. Whole grains, seeds, nuts, beans, fruits, mushrooms & nutritional yeast are good natural sources.

We need 16 mg of niacin a day for weight loss, as it plays a key role in the metabolism of carbs, fat & protein. Diet provides this dose!
