Niacin may cause a "flush" feeling, including skin flushing, tingling, feeling warm, blushing, or turning red (usually on the face, ears, neck, or chest). This reaction is more common for individuals who have not used niacin-containing supplements before or those who are sensitive to niacin. Depending on the individual, it usually subsides in 15-30 minutes, but in rare cases may last over an hour. You can reduce your likelihood of experiencing the niacin flush by eating a meal before or very shortly after taking a supplement containing niacin, drinking plenty of water, and making sure that your dose is appropriate. It may be best to start with only a portion of a serving. Then, gradually work your way up to your desired dosage, allowing your system to acclimate to the niacin. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best dose of niacin for your individual needs. Discuss any side effects you experience while using niacin with your healthcare provider.
Storage: Keep closed in a cool, dry place out of reach by children.
Niacin may help support healthy circulation, healthy carbohydrate and fat metabolism, and healthy skin. Because the body cannot store niacin, it requires adequate intake of this important vitamin everyday.
Niacin may support normal mood regulation by relieving any symptoms that could be related to a deficiency of this important vitamin. One of the building blocks of serotonin is the amino acid tryptophan, and one of the building blocks of tryptophan is niacin. Tryptophan also helps maintain healthy levels of niacin within the body. If tryptophan is divided between serotonin production and niacin production, serotonin production may be reduced when niacin levels are inadequate. Supplemental niacin and tryptophan can be beneficial for healthy moods.
Niacin is important for proper functioning of all cells, including the cells of the brain and nervous system. Niacin has the well-known effect of causing vasodilation, often called the niacin “flush,” which is an opening of small blood vessels (capillaries) for increased blood flow. These are the blood vessels which are of most value in reaching fatty tissues. Healthy blood flow is important for allowing toxins stored in these fatty tissues to be removed into the bloodstream, and processed out of the body. Niacin may also support healthy skin by promoting normal moisture retention, elasticity and tone. Niacin may also support healthy cartilage.
