Can You Take Vitamin B3 and Vitamin C Together?
May affect absorption
The short answer
High-dose vitamin C may convert some niacin to niacinamide, potentially reducing the vasodilatory (flushing) effects but also altering bioavailability.
How to arrange timing
Take at least 1 hour apart if using high-dose niacin for cardiovascular purposes.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
