Niacin (vitamin B3) promotes healthy cholesterol levels and supports energy production. It also supports cardiovascular, brain, digestive and skin health.
Niacin is often associated to “niacin flush,” or the red and itchy face and neck symptoms that sometimes accompany the use of niacin. Another form of vitamin B3, known as inositol hexaniacinate, is a “no flush” or “flush free” niacin that provides all the same benefits as traditional niacin without the flush.
Niacinamide is another non-flushing form of niacin necessary for normal breakdown of fats and the release of energy from carbohydrates.*
