Nutricost Niacin (Vitamin B3) 500mg, 240 Capsules – with Flushing, Non-GMO, Gluten Free
$14.94
Product Description
Each bottle contains 240 capsules of high-quality 500mg of Niacin. Please be aware that taking high dosages of this Niacin version of Vitamin B3, especially when your body is not used to it, can lead to what is often referred to as the “Niacin flush.” A “niacin flush” is a common temporary side effect of taking niacin some experience; it’s also a protocol used by some physicians. The “niacin flush” happens when capillaries expand, increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface. Studies have shown that niacin flush has a variety of benefits but is often uncomfortable for some people. Talk with your physician if this product is right for you. However, if you are looking for vitamin b3 without the flush, we’d recommend using a different form of Vitamin b3 such as Niacinamide that does not cause this “flush.” Nutricost also offers a smaller 100mg dosage version.

Beware the Niacin flush ☺️
Good product but beware of the flushing. I turned bright red with burning skin after taking this. It lasted around an hour and I found out this was a possible side effect t

Too potent! READ THIS POST 📬 BEFORE BUYING!
I made the mistake of not researching this product before buying. I based my decision on what everybody was writing. After I got the product and I took it I got the flushing and everything as expected but actually, I thought it was much worse than expected. For me, I got all the flushing symptoms worse than expected. It made me feel so dizzy, weak muscles, and thirsty.YES, you get a massive burning feel, worse than I’ve ever had! Strangely it relaxed all my muscles, made feel like pooping, which I did, rather well, just a healthy poop. The shock on my system made me tired. Do it before bedtime.If you are going to try this product, pls do your research! I always do, but this time I didn’t which is dangerous! Unless you are truly suffering from vitamin D3 this product is dangerously potent!FYI for people who aren’t good at researching:Vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid, nicotinamide)Vitamin B3 is also known as niacin. There are two forms of vitamin B3: nicotinic acid and nicotinamideWhat is vitamin B3?Vitamin B3 is also known as niacin.

This product exceeds regular requirements.Your everyday diet should provide you with all the niacin you need.Nicotinic acid and nicotinamide are both found in food.*******Vitamin B3 cannot be stored in the body, so you must obtain it from your daily diet.*********What happens if I don’t have enough vitamin B3?Vitamin B3 deficiency leads to pellagra. Pellagra is characterized by dermatitis and diarrhea.Severe pellagra also causes dementia and is fatal if untreated.********Pellagra is now rare, but was a major health problem as recently as the 1980s, when it was most commonly seen in communities that consumed a lot of maize.*******************************The vitamin B3 in maize is present in an unavailable form.Where is vitamin B3 found?Vitamin B3 is found in the following foods:breadwheat and maize floureggsdairy productsyeastWhat are the effects of cooking on vitamin B3?Vitamin B3 is significantly destroyed by excessive exposure to heat and/or water.When cooking, it is important to use fresh food, steam rather than boil and avoid overly long cooking times to preserve vitamins.Do I need to take a vitamin B3 supplement?The Department of Health advises that taking less than 17mg of nicotinic acid supplements a day or less than 500mg of nicotinamide supplements a day is unlikely to be harmful.What are the side effects and safety precautions of taking a vitamin B3 supplement?Vitamin B3 is deemed likely to be safe for most people when taken orally at the required or lower dosage.Commonly reported side-effects of vitamin B3 supplements to include flushing (extreme body heat), tingling, itching or redness of the feet, face, arms and chest; dizziness, temporary weakness, defecating, extreme thirst, tiredness, and headaches.Other minor side-effects of vitamin B3 supplements include an upset stomach, intestinal gas, and mouth pain.The suggested link between stroke risk and vitamin B3 supplements has not been confirmed.What happens if I take too much vitamin B3?*****************Taking over 3g of vitamin B3 a day leads to more serious side-effects, including liver problems, gout, digestive tract ulcers, loss of vision, high blood sugar and an irregular heartbeat.***************Vitamin B3 has a moderate interaction with the following drugs:alcoholallopurinol (Zyloprim).carbamazepine (Tegretol)clonidine (Catapres)diabetes medicationscholesterol-lowering medicationsprimidone (Mysoline)probenecidsulfinpyrazone (Aunturane).Vitamin B3: Eggs are a good source of vitamin B3 as well as protein.Feb 8, 2019, update – I took my vitamin with liquid protein and didn’t get any immediate symptoms. I’m still waiting. It’s been almost 45 mins. Maybe the key to taking it is taking it with HIGH protein. The flush did come about an hour later. It started with light head tingling and then a stronger burning sensation. Then it became a sunburn like flush throughout my face. It lasts about 40 mins. No body flush.So 2/10/2019 I took another one. At first I thought oh strange nothing. An hour later comes along, head tingling head flush, face flush, massive body flush, muscle weakness, I had to run to the bathroom, loss of bowels (sat on the toilet – i was quite surprised needless to say – cleaned me out well!), weakness was so bad i think i was on the verge of passing out, shut my eyes and leaned against the wall. I got the chills. I was so weak and tired I laid down. Ovaries and tubes felt like they were throbbing and on fire!!! I’m curled up in the fetal position in pain praying it ends. I’m covered in blankets to keep me warm. I guess I fall asleep for about 20 mins. About an hour after it started it all subsided and stopped. I’m very thirsty. I had just got done breakfast (2 eggs and about an ounce of salami) and a little bit of greens protein drink. Two days ago, I had a very potent greens drink with maaca, cocao powder, morninga powder, and homemade kefir. I only got the head flush. After today, I’d need to be super brave to take another tablet. Definitely don’t take it before or during work LOL OMG!

Almost cost me $5000 at the ER
This product literally ruined my day. I am a nurse and have taken different types of niacin with some flushing in the past. This product was on a whole new level…I took the tablet and about 20 minutes later the skin on my hands and face began to get really hot. It got more and more hot until I had actual welts over my entire body. I laid down because my heart was pounding extremely hard at a fast rate. Anything touching my skin really hurt, but I couldn’t move from being dizzy. I felt like I was going to heave a heart attack or pass out for about an hour. This continued but suddenly I started feeling very sick to my stomach and barely made it to the bathroom before my intestines released everything I’ve ever eaten. I slowly limped back to bed. My headache is intense and the room is spinning. I lay down again and now I am so cold I start shivering. The shivering turns into full body jerks that I cannot control. I was looking for something online to tell me I didn’t need to go to the hospital, but now I can’t even hold my phone from these intense spasms ripping through my body. After another 45 minutes laying there wondering if I’m dying and saying a few prayers it passed. The rest of the day I have been cold, my skin is sensitive, and mildly dizzy, and my head hurts.Somehow, I still think niacin is healthy, but I would highly recommend someone brand new to flushing niacin start at a much lower dose. 500mg felt like I was going to die. I am so glad I didn’t take 2. My husband was terrified and kept want to call for an ambulance or “do” something to help. Thank God I wasn’t working today.

Results from taking Naicin with flushing
The product did what it said it would do.It caused your body to get hot or flush with elevated temperature. It caused itching also. Hopefully it opened my arteries and reduced any high cholesterol.

The one-star reviews are correct. Why I’m giving it five.
You’ve read the one-star horror stories: absolutely true. Here’s why I give it five stars, and why you will, too.If you are new to niacin, please (please) don’t start with 500 mg. This is what I consider a therapeutic dose, what you’ll work up to for it to do its real magic. Buy a brand that offers 50 mg., or 100. Start slow, I beg you.I’m not going to list all the beauties of niacin – you’re considering it because you already know about them. Treatment of NAFLD. Dramatically improved lipid profile. Lowered blood pressure. Better skin. Maybe weight loss. Oh look, I listed them. It’s the real deal.Not everyone who impetuously downs a big dose on their first try is going to experience syncope, but the odds are higher than you want to risk. Don’t dismiss niacin based on the terrifying reactions some have had, but learn from them. Billy, don’t be a hero. Start slow, build up.

I have read about the flush that niacin (nicotinic acid) gives the body and thought I was prepared, how wrong I was. Nothing I read prepared me at all for the intense flush this product gave me and what a flush it was.I decided to take one tablet before going on my evening walk and within minutes of taking it I started to feel the flush coming on and it ramped up exponentially. Within 15 minutes I felt like I was cooking, my nerves were tingling all over my body and my mouth felt dry yet it wasn’t. It wasn’t a bad experience but it wasn’t a nice one either. I was glad to be walking in the cool evening because it helped cool me down.The worse of the flush lasted about 45min and seemed to completely settle after about a hour to a hour and a half. One thing I experienced that I found really strange was how clear my thinking became and the increased self awareness of my own body, it seemed a bit surreal.Think carefully before you buy this product, do your homework; every body is different and you may not cope with the intense flush this product gives. That said, would I buy it again? Yes I would.

某女優さんの雑誌のインタビューで、「ナイアシン」が睡眠の質を良くすると言っていたので、こちらを購入してみた。たしかに他の方が言っているように、接種後、体が熱くなる感はあります。ただ寝る寸前に飲むと、熱くなる感を感じず、熟睡できるようになりました。

Usually not mean in buying pills on line but problems in supply chains globally have restricted supply of nicotinic acid in Australia .These tables gave the nicotinic acid flush reaction so they feel like the real deal .Great price as well 25% of the local nicotinic acids prices

I ignored bad reviews and got a bottle. This combination of Maltodextrin and Niacin is DANGEROUS as niacin increases body’s sensitivity to sugars and Maltodextrin is the fastest dissolving sugar known to men. To combat this body starts swelling. Took me days to recover. Stay away!
