When and why does the niacin flush occur?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've searched the files and the internet but couldn't find an answer.

I wondered what conditions create a niacin flush? I ask because I take

100mg every night, but only occasionally experience a flush. I hadn't

had one in a couple of weeks, then got one last night. At the start of

the program they occurred more regularly, and very occasionally I will

get it two nights in a row. So it seems there are conditions that the

body needs to be in before a flush will occur.

Any ideas?

Your body adjusts to it over time. I posted a link to a great article

recently for someone else. Do a search on here and you'll find it.

==>Hi Matt. Do not be concerned about what conditions are required to

cause a flush; just keep taking niacin consistently and when the flush

occurs that's okay and if it doesn't occur that is fine too. Even if

you do not get a flush niacin is still benefitting you.

You can increase your niacin dose 25 mg per day when it seems like you

aren't getting a flush after 5 days on your current dose.
