I love the niacin flush. I've heard that niacin is really good for cholesterol and other things... I don't mind the flush and how it makes my nose run
I'm taking 2 grams a day.
Yes, niacin often has this effect due to its vasodilating properties.
One thing to keep in mind is that conversion of niacin into niacinamide (evidenced by "flush" reaction) may be somewhat hard on the liver, so investigate and consider taking the Deglycyrrizinated Licorice (DGL) or Milk Thistle supplements or eating artichokes (thistle family plant) along with niacin.
Interesting.
I’m taking niacin because every statin on the market gives me muscle aches (the liver damage warning symptom).
