Why do you need vit B3 supplements have you been diagnosed with a deficiency? If not you are probably just putting your money towards boosting the coffers of the supplement suppliers. You can get B3 in your food, check google for foods with niacin in them. Taking too many B3 supplements can be dangerous, so check first. On the other hand if you have got a deficiency your doctor would tell you what to do.

Why? Unless you have been diagnosed with a niacin deficiency you will get enough from a normal diet. Too much is as bad as too little of many of the B vitamins.
