Explain Niacin Flush to me. I looked it up at Puritan’s Pride and they have Niacin Flush Free. What exactly do you look for? I already do the Melatonin.

You want nicotinic acid, not the Inositol Hexanicotinate. The flush is the measure of if you are dosing the proper amount of melatonin. It’s like a light bulb that comes on saying you need more melatonin.

A flush feels like a sunburn a little bit. Some can be intense for as long as 30 mins throughout the whole body. I suggest starting low doses and slowly working up to the target to avoid discomfort. Or, jump right in with larger doses and ride that flush.

I started my mom at 10mg melatonin and 100mg of niacin. She flushed a bit, but nowhere near like what I did when I started with 5mg melatonin and 250mg of niacin. Whew!
