Solaray No Flush Niacin

Flush-free niacin, also known as Inositol Hexanicotinate, is a form of niacin (vitamin B3) that is designed to minimize the uncomfortable "niacin flush" side effect. While traditional niacin (nicotinic acid) can cause flushing, inositol hexanicotinate is slowly metabolized in the body, which helps to reduce the flushing. Like traditional niacin, flush-free niacin is a B vitamin that plays a role in cellular energy production, helping the body convert food into energy. It helps the body utilize fats and carbohydrates from food and metabolize alcohol. Flush-free niacin is marketed for its potential benefits to the heart, brain, and nervous system. Inositol hexanicotinate may improve blood flow, and has been used for conditions where blood flow is compromised, such as Raynaud's phenomenon. It may offer protection against skin damage and potentially reduce the risk of certain skin cancers.  Flush-free niacin, specifically, may help to maintain a healthy nervous system.
