Endurance ProductsENDUR-ACIN, Extended Release Niacin for Optimal Absorption & Low-Flush Vitamin B3 Niacin 500mg, Premium Niacin Supplement Made in USA, 200 Tablets

So, apparently, "no-flush" or "reduced flush" doesn't have the same health benefits as the kind that makes you feel like you're dying, but the "full flush" niacin made it look like I was 70 years old (I'm 43) with blood vessels popping out of my head.This time-release has MORE of the benefits than Niacinamide which is about the same as taking ascorbic acid instead of eating an orange (it's incomplete). Since it's real Niacin, in a large dose you WILL get some flushing, just less. The release is delayed so you are less likely to overwhelm your liver which will cause gout to flare up since uric acid can't be filtered out of your blood.In my case I have gout AND really flushing on just 100mg of straight Niacin so this is the best I can do. I have something wrong with my vascular system and this reduces the symptoms. Talk to your doctor before starting, stopping, or changing the type of Niacin you take as the effects on the body can be extreme, especially at high doses.

Really like. No flushing, itching.

I have researched around to get the skinny of taking Nicotinic Acid (B-3) for reducing cholesterol. I found that there are several release types IR (immediate), SR (sustained), ER (extended), CR (controlled). Well, I ruled out taking the SR as it was associated with a higher rate of liver toxicity damage based on the way it is delivered in the body. Testing has been done on the ER medical grade and found to have a lower rate of liver damage similar to the IR niacin. Also is relative to the dosage usually above 3g based and long term use. There is some indication that taken at bedtime reduces the effects on the liver. The title says Low Flush but I experienced hot flashes and itching with my very first does of 500 mg. Non Flush formations are said not to be Nicotinic Acid (B-3) and infective for the purpose intended. I read taking a 325 mg of aspirin at the same time will eliminate the Flush side effects but I have not tried that yet so I can speak to that. I can't take statin or Lipador because it causes short term memory loss and not just me, my friend had the very same reaction to it so we both stopped taking it and our memories are fine now. I want to take a more natural approach although it is a chemical it's not man made and something our body needs naturally. I don't know yet if this is the final brand of niacin I will wind up with or if I will be able to go the distance due to side effects of such high doses, but I'm going to give it a honest try.

been taking for awhile and all seems to be good

Do they really work? Or are they a placebo? That's the big question, and personally, I don't care. To test them, i went without for about three weeks and noticed a difference in the way I was able to recall names, etc. So, I'm taking one daily and feeling good about it.

this is the brand my doctor recommends to go along with my prescriptions. been taking it for almost 25 years.

was nice

The closed lid of the product was deformed before it was opened, I wonder why?
