Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 there are 3 forms (that I know of) of niacin here is what schiff says advertising their niacin here: http://shopping.msn.com/specs/niacin-flush-free-500-mg-100-tablets/itemid1755760\ 37/?itemtext=itemname:niacin-flush-free-500-mg-100-tablets Niacin Flush Free -- 500 mg - 100 Tablets: Product details Involvement of Niacin, an essential B vitamin, in cellular energy production means that it is essential for healthy cardiovascular function, nervous system function, and immune function.** Niacin helps maintain already normal cholesterol levels.**Schiff uses Inositol Hexanicotinate for a niacin source , which lets enzymes in your body slowly release niacin to avoid... More the flushing response. Niacin in doses over 50 mg can cause flushing - red and itchy face and neck - when ingested in a non-time release form. Niacin is available in time-release tablets, and these products have less flushing reaction. These products release niacin slowly throughout the intestinal tract, which still presents the liver with a large niacin load. Simple, time-released niacin products have been associated with elevated liver enzymes in some users. The niacin used in Schiff Flush Free Niacin is Inositol Hexanicotinate, a different kind of time-release niacin. Inositol hexanicotinate is absorbed by the body, and inside of tissues, enzymes normally present in all cells slowly release niacin from the inositol. This allows niacin from inositol hexanicotinate to avoid flushing and provide what the cells really want - niacin in the right place at the right time in the right amounts. Niacinamide, another form of Vitamin B3 commonly used in dietary supplements and found in foods, does not cause flushing at any dose, but also does not have the cardiovascular health effects that niacin has.
