Anybody try this bulk Niacin?

[Timothy Menezes]

Came across this and wondered if anyone else had tried this form of Niacin and what they thought of it.

Also same question with Metzers vitamin pack. Sorry you have to scroll down a bit to find it.

Naturally I had to look up what 100 grams is and it's only 3.5 ounces! Seems expensive to me. I used Brewers yeast and it worked just fine for my gang. You get 2 lbs for $19

I have ordered my supplies from BulkSupplements.com, they have good prices, for example 100 grams of Niacin for $11.96 plus shipping:

The benefit of using niacin instead of yeast is a teaspoon of this powder is as potent as several cups of yeast. So way cheaper in the long run.

The one I linked is $5.25 for the 100 gram packet. I would go for the 250 gram packet for $11.25, or 500 grams for $20. The Kilo for $36 is of course the best deal but don't think I would live long enough to use it all lol. Unless of course I quit my job and start a duck farm! Now there's an idea worth thinking about...

I get this from Walmart and open a capsule and mix in water. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nature-s-Way-Niacin-Capsules-100-Ct/24817746

I like that method. Looks quick and easy to put one of those per gallon of water. That's one methed Dave Holdered recommended in the book Stories Guide to Raising ducks.

I've seen this before and I'm kind of embarrassed to ask but how are you sure they are drinking the whole gallon of water and getting all the niacin they need? I'm sure there is a simple explanation that I don't seem to be getting that everyone else is. When I put out a gallon of water 1/2 of it's still there and muddy at the end of the day.

With ducks it's always hard to know what they drink and what they waste. But my understanding is that with water it is the percentage of water to Niacin that is important. So as long as the water is the proper mix and they drink their fill then it is good. The amount they spill is a financial loss but that's all. Unless of course they have other sources of water which can throw it off.
