nicotinamide is not good for you. Niacin is fantastic.
Notice exaggerated nicotinamide effects and called it Niacin. I smell big pharma Shenanigans.

you where buying the wrong one until you bought the Flush. It must burn your face or it's not processing through the NF-κB pathway.

Will this play into the NAD+, NR, NMN fad as they seem to be similar to niacin?

They will force you to eat bugs. If you’re lucky.

Constipation always ends with a flush.

The key is starting small and building up. I used to have a BP of 152/96. My BP dropped significantly after a month. After a dozen years on Niacin it is still around 118/65. Did amazing things for cholesterol too.

Wife, sister, and quite a few co-workers take it with similar results. One says it helped his ED quite a bit. It was the main item for high blood pressure years ago, before the drug companies figured out how to patent a range of BP drugs. When my dad switched, he lost quite a bit of daily energy.

only a “fad” would people buy nicotinamide variations rather then simply niacin that actually works.

none of us "legally" have informed consent under emergency powers with the prep act.

To me that is exactly the same as saying, none of us have the right to life "legally" under emergency powers. The law SCOTUS agreed to is ridiculous. SCOTUS removed Roe v. Wade because it was moot.

As I sit here reading this I am in the midst of a niacin flush...I take it regularly, 500 to 1000mg. The flush only lasts @ 15-20 min...and I do not always experience it. It is kinda like a sauna to me.

the “niacin flush,” a horrible red burning rash that covered my face, neck and chest.

Fifteen years ago, dittoes. Thought that I was going to die.

Sorry ladies, but men? A bunch of pussies. The flushing goes away quickly, and seems to be triggered by sugar before and after you take it. “I’M DYING”, wife says read the find print.

Have you seen any work that suggests that niacinamide raises NAD levels?

Keep eating crap food = same results, niacin or not.

My understanding of this researcher is that he on boards for big pharma companies and uses second hand study data that introduces “associations unable to prove causation”.

Look up (non-cdc/fda/fauci-like recent stories scaring erythritol users being a brand new risk for stroke. His work was Michael-Mann-esque in omissions and policy over critical thinking and scientific method.

My guess is its a salvo against low carb statin-deniers and weight-loss supplementors who endanger billions in patent profit.

But why be sceptical about motives when we already “solved” these problems. Just take a pill.

I’ll wait for real scienceto look at this.
