Nutricost Niacin (Vitamin B3) 100mg, 240 Capsules - with Flushing, Non-GMO, Gluten Free

Been using this since 2024 and this is my verdict on this Brand. Easy to swallow with no taste. Side effects are expected, the flush. Dosage of 100mg is a good start but I prefer 200mg is sufficient (I've gone all the way up to 500mg). Great value for the money, especially when compared to pharmaceutical prices.

I bought Nutricost Niacin (Vitamin B3) 100mg mainly as a morning supplement for energy, and it has been helpful overall. I’ve also noticed it seems to help with hangover recovery. Mood: I’ve noticed a mild improvement in overall mood and alertness when taking it consistently in the morning. Ease of Use: Very easy to incorporate into a daily routine. The capsules are simple to take and don’t require any special timing beyond my morning dose. Dosage: I usually take 2 capsules in the morning. About 90% of the time I don’t experience a flush at that dose. If I take 3 capsules, flushing happens about 50% of the time, and with 4 capsules it almost always occurs. It’s helpful to have that predictable response depending on dosage. Odor: No noticeable odor, which makes them easy to take. Energy: I do feel a noticeable boost in energy and alertness after taking it, especially in the morning. Pill Size: The capsules are a reasonable size and easy to swallow without issue. Overall, this is a solid niacin supplement that works well for energy support and general wellness. The flushing effect is there depending on dosage, but it’s manageable once you understand how your body responds.

Good stuff... I like this lower dose so less flush and I can still feel it.

So I have mixed reviews here. While I'm aure that the product itself is quite decent I had a reaction that I now have come to know as "The Niacin Flush". I took a capsule as soon as I got them. I was excited. I had just bought several new supplements and I was eager to try them. Well about 1-1 1/12 hours later I started feeling hot. Ok I need to turn my aor on. A few minutes after that my lips started burning, then my face, and finally my chest and arms are 🔥 burning on fire. I felt as though I was being attacked by fire ants and needles all at the same time and at the rate of the speed of light! I didn't know what was happening. I was waiting for my throat to close. I yell to my husband "something is wrong, I need a doctor stat. My throat never started closing so I calmed down by the slightest bit and began to think " What in the H.E. double hockey sticks is going on? What did i do?" After racking my brain, all the while feeling like I was being microwaved it dawned on me.......could it be the niacin? So I head to my doctor on call...Google...and find out that yes indeed it was the Niacin Flush. Perfectly harmless, so they say. Upon further reading I found that there is a whole slew of folks that LIKE the way it feels. I myself absofrickenlutely am not one of them. So to anyone who is not familiar with this I say..BEWARE.

HOLY FLUSH!!! IMMEDIATE REACTION! Within 10 minutes my lips, face, chest and arms were ON FIRE! I could feel it before I even looked. My fiancé walked out and immediately said “WHY ARE YOU BEAT RED?!?” So it definitely works but this is way too intense for me. Bumping down to a 50mg or 25mg. TAKE IT AFTER EATING. Not WITH food, AFTER food. Dang.

Safe dosage & works for me extremely well.

I can't really say if these are doing anything for me or not. I've taken them for 6 days and had no reaction at all. This morning I took 1 after breakfast as usual and an hour later my entire body feels like it's on fire, So, this is the niacin flush.. WOW.

50mg use to get my face flushed when I was working out. A couple years later I'm trying the 100mg and it's not having the same effect. It's no the product but probably my body is getting use to it or changing. I may not have enough of whatever it was that is needed in the skin that causes that helps niacin produce the flush. I forget what it was called. But Nutricost seems to be a brand I can trust.

Good
