Highest Niacin (Vitamin B3) Foods

Foods ranked by niacin per 100 g from USDA FoodData Central.

Niacin forms the coenzymes NAD and NADP, which take part in a very large share of the body's energy-releasing and DNA-repair reactions. Dietary amounts from food are well tolerated, but the high doses sometimes used to influence cholesterol are a different matter — they can cause skin flushing and, at sustained high intakes, liver problems, so they belong under medical supervision rather than self-treatment.

This is general nutrition information, not medical advice — talk to a healthcare provider about what's right for you.
