Niacin Flush or Allergic Reaction

If you've taken a new supplement for the first time,  or you've increased the dosage for the first time,  you may be nervous.

It definitely doesn't help if you swallow a capsule and your body starts heating up,  palms get sweaty and you feel like you're sunburned.

These are the symptoms of a Niacin Flush.

It's harmless.  Totally harmless.

Yet scary for the first time.

Symptoms of a niacin flush are:
- increased feeling of warmth on the face,  torso,  feet,  hands,  arms and possibly legs.
- tops of your ears may feel warm,  too
- sweating a bit due to the warmth

How long does a Niacin Flush last?
- Usually 20 minutes to 60 minutes tops - depending on how much you took

What forms of Niacin cause niacin flushing?
- Niacin USP
- Nicotinic acid

Why not use just non-flushing niacin?
- It's not as beneficial for the body.
- non-flushing niacin can actually be harmful to the liver
