I take 1000mg of Niacin per my doctors advice and it's done wonders for my cholesterol. The flushing goes down after you start taking it regularly and it's no big deal.

@tiatdivad hi may i ask you i niacinamide has no cholesterol lowering properties as far as i believe?
-
People are such pussies about the flushing. calm down douches
-
@tiatdivad Why doesn't regular niacin help mental disorders? What's the difference?
-
I always feel jittery during the flush. Is that the elevated blood sugar?
Diabetics should be wary of it.
-
Why not just take a "No Flush" niacin? Or take regular niacin preceded by a baby asprin and have no flush?

The safest drug ever? Check yourselves dude...acute liver injury is a common risk

i took regular niacin and i had a flush and got reddish the first and second times with 500 mg then 1000 mg. and the third time took 5000 mg and did'nt have any flush?
I have been taking 2g of Niacin a day for two months along with a mostly vegetarian, whole food diet. Lost over 30 pounds and dropped over seven medications that I was taking, including cholesterol and high blood pressure meds. Love the flush.

The flush is beneficial. Carrrying oxygen to places that haven't seen the same for years and it prevents sludging (a term coined by Dr.A.Hoffer) of blood cells. It's like Buckley's cough syrup...it taste bad but it works. "Taste" being a metaphor.
No you are not having a allergic reaction..LOL. Man, I get red and itchy for a short time but it's great stuff!
