NOW Flush-Free Niacin, 250mg, 90 Vcaps

Niacin (Vitamin B-3) is an essential B-vitamin necessary for good health.  Many Niacin supplements cause a temporary Niacin flush or tingling red rash on the skin when taken in large doses.  This flush-free Niacin is formulated to avoid such reactions. Flush-free or no-flush niacin is a form of nicotinic acid also known as inositol hexaniacinate. Flush-free niacin gets its name from its ability to alleviate side effects like flushing that are seen with other forms of niacin.

Various studies have demonstrated that this vitamin reduces cholesterol and triglycerides, helping in the prevention of heart disease. Diabetes and multiple sclerosis may also improve under a regime of niacin supplementation.  Niacin promotes healthy skin and efficient functioning of the nervous and digestive system, and has been demonstrated to improve mental alertness because of it's ability to enhance microcirculation.
