Does Niacinamide Cause Flushing

Answer 3

Niacinamide will not cause you to flush like niacin, but in my opinion is also not as effective. Associated liver problems are largely myth, as long as increased niacin is also balanced with lots of other vitamins and minerals at the same time. I have done a 22 day Indian sweat lodge cleansing starting at 100 mgs of niacin and worked up to 7000 mgs a day wihtout problems. The flushing subsides as your body purifies.

Answer 4

Niacinamide does not cause the flushing, bu may still make some trouble for the liver. You might try the flush free niacin. It is safer and does not cause the flushing problem,

Answer 6

Niacinamide does not cause the flushing associated with large doses of niacin.

I don't know about the liver, though.

In the sixties, it was believed that 1,000 mgs. of niacin per 50 lbs. of body weight would stop an LSD trip. Soon it was realized that niacinamide didn't cause the frightening - if you were tripping! - flushing. I can't for the life of me remember if it actually stopped trips, though! Nor do I know if it was safe. I just know we used it.

Niacinamide - B Complex
Niacinamide is one of the water-soluble B-complex vitamins. Niacin, or nicotinic acid, is also known as Vitamin B-3. When an amide molecule attaches itself to niacin, it becomes niacinamide. One major difference is that in doses exceeding 50 mg, niacin typically produces flushing of the skin. Niacin and niacinamide also have different applications. It its niacinamide form, it is useful in arthritis and early-onset type I diabetes; niacin is an effective reducer of high cholesterol levels.

Niacinamide was first linked to preventing the development of diabetes in experimental animals in the 1950s, a finding confirmed in the 1980s which led to further clinical studies. Niacinamide enhances insulin secretion and increases insulin sensitivity. Evidence points to niacinamide supplements being very effective in preventing type I diabetes from progressing in some patients if given soon enough at the onset of diabetes. It does so primarily by helping restore beta cells.

Several studies done on high-risk groups led to a larger population-based study conducted in New Zealand to see if supplements can prevent diabetes from developing in high risk groups. The results of screening 32,000 five- to seven-year-old children for islet cell antibodies and treating those at risk proved quite impressive. Treating diabetes is very costly, but early intervention by screening (as done in the New Zealand study) and treating with niacinamide supplements could dramatically cut health-care costs.1

Evidence on the impact of niacinamide on arthritis is only preliminary. Drs. William Kaufman and Abram Hoffer have reported positive clinical results in the treatment of hundreds of patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis using high doses of niacinamide. These results have yet to be fully evaluated in detailed clinical studies.2

niacin causes temporary flushing.. drink water to combat it
any med/vitamin can potentially cause liver problems
