Quick facts
Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin and St. John's Wort is a herbal extract. These supplements work through different biological pathways and don't compete for absorption in a clinically meaningful way.
While no negative interaction is documented, it's always good practice to introduce new supplements one at a time to understand your individual response before combining multiple new additions to your stack.
Follow each supplement's individual optimal timing:
Niacin: with food to reduce flushing
St. John's Wort: with meals, 2-3x daily
When both recommend 'with food,' the same meal works fine.
