Niacin is B3. It's water soluble and not harmful to a healthy body if taken in healthy doses.

The flush is a side effect that lasts for about 15 to 30 minutes, and is sometimes accompanied by a prickly or itching sensation, in particular, in areas covered by clothing. This effect is mediated by prostaglandin and can be blocked by taking 300 mg of aspirin half an hour before taking niacin, or by taking one tablet of ibuprofen per day. Taking the niacin with meals also helps reduce this side effect. After several weeks of a consistent dose, most patients no longer flush.

The role of niacin for treating Cardiovascular disease is still up for debate however, testing has shown increase levels of HDL (good) cholesterol in the blood and that Niacin blocks the breakdown of fats in adipose tissue. These fats are used to build very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) in the liver, which are precursors of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol. Because niacin blocks the breakdown of fats, it causes a decrease in free fatty acids in the blood and, as a consequence, decreases the secretion of VLDL and cholesterol by the liver. So Niacin has been found to modestly decrease the risk of cardiovascular events.

Niacin can be beneficial to the body if you suffer from diabetes, but extremely high doses can be toxic to the liver and cause your vision to be blurred from your retina thickening (this effect stops when you stop taking Niacin).
