Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Posted January 5, 2008 Some people (like myself) tend to experience a " flushing " of the skin when taking niacin (B3). When the B vitamin complex is advertised as " non flushing " , they contain niacinamide instead of niacin. If you are curious, do a search on the internet for " niacin flush " .

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 It refers to the Niacin, which normally creates a flush (WHICH IS GOOD!!) that most people object to, so instead they give you the form niacinamide (spelling might be wrong). Niacin is a miracle vitamin, running out radiation and helps with cholesterol and epilepsy. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. the 'no flush' won't hurt.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Part of the make up of B vitamins is niacin, regular niacin causes unpleasant side effects such as itchy, burning skin - known as the niacin " flush " . Standard niacin may also harm the liver. No-flush refers to a form of the B vitamin niacin bound to the B-vitamin-like simple polyol inositol (inositol hexanicotinate). Inositol hexanicotinate delivers niacin to the bloodstream slowly, eliminating the niacin " flush, " and has not been associated with impaired liver health or other side effects of conventional or " slow-release " niacin.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 No flush, I believe, refers to Niacin, which is a part of the B vitamins. However, if you are planning on taking Niacin, don't get the " no flush " kind. It doesn't work, according to all of the studies I've read. , artbydawn wrote: > > Please explain what is " no flush " with regards to the B vitamins.
