What is flush free niacin?

Flush free niacin, also known as inositol hexanicotinate or inositol nicotinate, is a form of vitamin B3 that does not cause the flushing or reddening of the skin that is commonly associated with other niacin supplements. It is believed to be effective in treating high cholesterol, anxiety, depression, and skin conditions like acne and rosacea. Flush free niacin works by converting into niacin within the body at a slow pace, preventing the rapid release of niacin that causes flushing. It is generally considered safe when used as directed, but may interact with certain medications or cause liver damage if taken in high doses. It is available in various forms including capsules, tablets, and powders.
