Yes, Niacin flushes can be very common, and they are a bit uncomfortable! But they are not dangerous at all. The flushing is proof that small blood vessels and capillaries are opening up and more blood and oxygen are able to reach the cells.
Niacin is very beneficial to the cardiovascular system and also in helping to detoxify the body's fatty tissues, where so many toxins have been stored. By increasing blood flow, Niacin helps to carry out those toxins, thereby helping to reduce cholesterol, trigliceride levels, strokes and heart attacks.
There are different forms of Niacin that you can purchase. Stick with buying plain Niacin, not the other two compounds that are available, which are Niacinimide and Nicotinamide as they will not work.
The timed release forms are deliberately manufactured so that they will not cause flushing. However, without the flushing effect, they cannot lower cholesterol levels, etc.. They are absolutely useless, and anything in a timed release form has been associated with liver damage.
I am sure you are aware of the different forms of Niacin, but perhaps there are others that are not aware of the differences. Again, if everyone just sticks to buying the plain forms of Niacin, there is nothing to worry about.
If you are taking Niacin, it is best to check with your ND to find out recommended dosages with which to start and end with.
