It does, but it takes large doses proportionate with the niacin dose. It can completely mitigate it. I got up to 3g doses thrice daily of niacin, but it took a 300mg of mellie to to mitigate the flush. This is a therapeutic dose, not a daily maintenance dose. Daily doses should be around 1g a day to manage inflammation.
I mix it in a little water and then I sip it throughout the day.
When taking high doses we made a pitcher for the day in the morning. My wife was a sipper, but I just downed my glass. We made a 1% niacin solution. 10g of niacin to 999g of water to make a liter. So, 100mg of the solution woujld give you 1g of niacin. You could, of course, dilute it more. I like this because the math is easy for the wife (LOL).
I enjoy the flush now because it's just a little bit since I'm used to it. You never experience that first freak out like the first time again. When you dissolve the niacin in water and down it
thankQ for the niacin info!
