Hi, i am basically going to copy & paste part of a transcript describing the difference between Niacin & Niacin Flush free...
"The nicotinic acid is the substance that causes the flushing side effect of niacin. The flush normally begins as a deep red in the face and then spreads to the rest of the body. Intense warmth and itching usually accompany the flush and this lasts for about 30 minutes. Other side effects of niacin include increased blood sugar levels, increased uric acid levels, dry skin, stomach irritation, or heartburn... Products labelled as "no-flush" niacin generally contain no nicotinic acid". Does this make sense?

It does an doesn't... Hopefully it's because I've been deprived of sleep, not my IQ level. Thank you so very much for your response.
It's not clear to me the difference between the normal one and the "flush free" and I cannot access the link, because an ad pops up. Which one is better? Do they have different side effects? For example, if I get chest pressure with the "flush free" (the one I am using at the moment) do you think I might not get it with the normal one? Thanks.
