Niacin se metabolism thoda improve hota hai, haan. Par direct weight loss ke liye ispe depend mat raho na. Workout aur diet hi kaam aayega aakhiri mein.

My husband's doctor recommended niacin for cholesterol, not for weight loss. My mother always says natural food is best, but please ask your doctor before taking any supplement pills on your own.

I was researching about Vitamin B3 (niacin) too, and it turns out it helps convert food into energy. But I couldn't find any proof that it melts body fat directly. It seems like a myth.

Buying expensive niacin supplements for weight loss is a waste of money. Instead, spend that money on a basic lipid profile and thyroid test to check why you aren't losing weight. Eating normal home food is much cheaper and safer.

Bhai, hum toh bas yahi jaante hain ki mehnat karne se aur kam khane se wazan kam hota hai. Ye sab angrezi dawai aur niacin ke peeche mat bhaago, normal raho.
