Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Ok, so if you're deficient in niacin and take regular niacin then it makes you flush, right? Skin gets pinker and you itch? Because my brother can take niacin with no side effects. I take it and suddenly my skin itches worse than if I had fleas. I also seem somewhat pinkish. I read somewhere that if you DO flush with niacin, like I do, then you should take niacin 3 to 4 times a day, with food, until you no longer experience the side effect. Then you've got optimal niacin in your system. I also heard that it's better to take the niacin that causes the flush than the non-flush niacin. Is this true? How much niacin should I take each day? And would it be fair to say my brother's getting enough niacin in his diet since he does not flush? - Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 That's strange. I've been told, that the non-flush niacin (inositol hexanicotinate) is slightly better than regular niacin, and only has the disadvantage that it's a bit more expensive. JP - " Anna L.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Dear Anna, In what context are you and your brother taking Niacin? And have you checked out whether it is water solubl or not? If not, be careful. Regards. Swamy holistic-health , " Anna L. Juarez " <aljuarez@z...> wrote: > Ok, so if you're deficient in niacin and take regular niacin then it > makes you flush, right?
