Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Does it matter if you take niacin or niacinamide? Is one better or better assimilated than theother? I read that niacinamide doesn't cause flushing.....is it not as effective? Thanks Jeanne -------------- Original message -------------- "Dr. Ian Shillington" <DocShillington Niacin is not a drug.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Absolutely! Niacin is what you want. Niacinamide is next to useless and is the salt form. As such it is too stable to really be effective. Niacin on the other hand is in an acid form, is highly assimilable and goes to work immediately.
