Understanding the “Niacin Flush”
This supplement contains niacin as nicotinic acid, a form known to cause a “niacin flush.” This is a temporary and harmless reaction that may include skin redness, a warm sensation, and itching. The flush occurs because niacin helps support vasodilation (the widening of small blood vessels), which increases blood flow to the skin’s surface. Many users consider this a sign that the niacin is potent and working effectively. The reaction typically subsides within an hour.
Support for Energy Metabolism & Nervous System
As an essential B-vitamin, niacin plays a crucial role in converting the food you eat into usable energy. It is a key coenzyme in cellular metabolism, supporting processes that are vital for the health of your nervous system, digestive system, and skin.
A Key Vitamin for Heart-Healthy Lifestyles
Niacin is often recommended as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle. It may help support the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels already within a normal range. To learn more, you can read about the role of Niacin in cholesterol management and the nature of the niacin flush from the Mayo Clinic.
How to Use
Use only as directed. Take one (1) VegCap daily with a meal or a glass of water. To help reduce the intensity of the niacin flush, it is best to take this supplement with food.
Important Safety Information
Do not use if safety seal is broken or missing. Keep out of reach of children. Niacin may cause a temporary flushing reaction, including redness, itching and a warm sensation on the skin. This is a natural and harmless reaction. Keep your licensed health care practitioner informed when using this product.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the “niacin flush” dangerous?
No. The niacin flush is a harmless, temporary side effect of nicotinic acid. It is caused by increased blood flow to the skin and typically lasts for about an hour. While it can be uncomfortable, it is not a sign of an allergic reaction or any harm.
Is this a “flush-free” niacin formula?
No. This product contains niacin as nicotinic acid, which is the form that causes the flush. “Flush-free” formulas typically use a different form of niacin, such as inositol hexanicotinate, which has different properties and effects.
What does “Lab Verified” mean?
“Lab Verified” means that the product has been tested in Solaray’s own state-of-the-art laboratory to confirm the identity, purity, and potency of its ingredients, ensuring it meets our high standards of quality.
