***Niacin, too. It's a vacuum cleaner for inflammation. 1.5g, once or twice a day, 20 minutes after a meal***

It is well to remember that such high doses of niacin can cause an extensive 'flushing' sensation. Perhaps the meal would help ameliorate that.

Nicotinamide is recommended as a treatment for niacin deficiency because it can be administered in remedial amounts without causing the flushing, considered an adverse effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niacin Could nicotinamide be substituted for the niacin in treating pain?

Nicotinamide can cause major damage to the liver. The flush is an annoyance, but it is harmless biologically.

Please be extremely careful using Nicotinamide.

No. That is FAKE niacin. You want flush niacin - nicotinic acid.

Nicotinamide is dangerous.
It can damage your liver if you take much.

No, nicotinamide aka niacinamide is toxic to the liver in similar doses.

The flush is party of the therapeutic effect.
