At 1000mg per capsule, this is a pharmacologic dose of **niacin** — far above the ~16mg you need for energy and squarely in the range used to shift cholesterol, raising HDL and lowering triglycerides. It's plain nicotinic acid, the only form of B3 that actually moves your lipid numbers, so for that goal it's fully dosed.
Because it's immediate-release nicotinic acid, expect the niacin flush — warmth, redness, and tingling within 15-30 minutes. Taking it with a meal blunts this, and it eases with regular use. Immediate-release also strains the liver less than sustained-release niacin, which carries documented liver risk at gram-level doses.
Worth knowing: at this dose, niacin acts like a lipid medication. Large trials found it didn't cut heart events when added to statins and flagged higher diabetes risk, so take it under a clinician's guidance with periodic liver checks, not as a casual energy supplement.
