NOW Foods Supplements, Niacin (Vitamin B-3) 250 mg, Flush-Free, Nutritional Health, 180 Veg Capsules

Whenever I need vitamins I always shop for this brand. Hugh quality made here in the USA

Always a good cost. Keeps cholesterol down.

Mixed reviews on this one: noticeable appreciable effects - increased sex drive and everything that goes with that. Side effects - head-rush upon ingesting, difficulty with short-term memory (had trouble focusing on train-of-thought during conversation), adrenaline-like feeling in chest. Tapers down to fatigue (maintained increased sex drive) with less energy for exertion noticed during weight-lifting/ running (body-building). Would fall asleep earlier at night and stay asleep until morning. Maybe that is a plus. Definitely, alters energy levels. Days after stopping - heart palpitations/ flutters. Maybe related, maybe not.So this does something, I just don't know if the cost outweighs the benefit, plus whatever effects are unnoticed (liver levels, whatever it might be doing to other parts of the body, etc). I think it does something to blood pressure, though I did not have my blood-pressure measured while I was taking this. If you are considering using this, start with a low dose. I started with 500mgs, then a week later cut down to 250mgs which worked just as well.

This is a time release and it works well as far as I can tell.

Love this product! No FLUSH ISSUES --- I take once a day in the a.m.

Dr. Berg definitely talks a lot about nutrition and since our food is not optimal these days because our soils are depleted B3 B1 magnesium potassium vitamin vitamin D are also important right now now

Liked the product

A high HDL cholesterol level helps fight heart disease. I take 20mg per day of Crestor (Rosuvastatin), together with diet, weight-loss, and exercise to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. I am now 195 lbs (6'2" male). But even so, my HDL was still too low and my LDL was high. Apparently it is hereditary. My doctor recommended Niacin and I have been taking this brand for a year. I spend about $600 a year on lab and blood tests to check my cholesterol, kidney function, etc. Since taking the Niacin, my Cholesterol has significantly improved. Personally I don't get any flushing. I take 500mg in the AM and 250mg in the evening.
