they put it in bread because there was a vitamin b3 deficiency causing an illness nationwide several years ago. the illness became eradicated because of that but still higher doses of niacin are more beneficial opposed to eating just bread alone. i take both niacin & niacin-amide.

@rehndawg I found a flush free niacin, but I don't think it's as good.

@NancyToday No nancy you require the flushing kind because it opens your capillaries...when you flush the blood vessels near the top of your skin, you glow red. this kind also helps with the cholesterol issue. what you can do is take aspirin or advil before you take the niacin to prevent the redness. i take niacin-amide for memory issues and depression...and hopefully to extend life.

@rehndawg interesting!

[rehndawg]

only Caucasians or fair skinned people get red

[NancyToday]

@rehndawg That would be me. I must be coloured! I get red when I'm flushed, purple when I am cold, brown when I'm tanned and pink or red when I'm sunburned! I probably turn green when I'm jealous, but if I'm jealous, I can't see my aura! LOL.

I seems pretty foolish to take a medication without "having a clue what it's for," regardless of whether or not a medical person prescribed it.
