re. itching

[Guest guest]

Hi Arlene,Glad the humor gave you a chuckle. It's one of my favorites! (Along with the poster of a kid in a high chair with spaghetti on his head: Caption: "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!")re. the niacin. I had the flush once, and never want to experience that again. is right that taking niacin on a full stomach will somewhat lesson the effect. There is a non-flush niacin on the market now, and I have been taking it with no reaction at all. The brand I bought at Walgreen's is Nature's County, Flush Free niacin 500 mg. Because of the reaction I had years ago, I was reluctant to try it, but am glad I did. Have a great day!Peggy

Peggy, I don't think what you're using qualifies as niacin per se just as niacinamide, even though it also qualifies as Vitamin B3 (it's in lots of multi formulations), isn't niacin either. If you're looking for a specific benefit, do some research. There's a reason why prescription niacin is just that--niacin.
