Questions and Answers about Life Extension, No Flush Niacin
Have a Question?
-
What is no flush niacin good for?
No flush niacin, also known as inositol hexanicotinate, is often used to support cardiovascular health. It may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, particularly by potentially increasing HDL (good) cholesterol and lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides. Additionally, some people use it for its potential benefits in supporting skin health and energy metabolism.
-
Is it bad to flush with niacin?
The niacin flush, characterized by redness and warmth in the skin, is not inherently harmful for most people. It's a common side effect of regular niacin supplements and is caused by blood vessel dilation. However, many find this sensation uncomfortable, which is why no-flush forms like inositol hexanicotinate were developed.
-
Is it okay to take niacin daily?
Daily use of No Flush Niacin is generally considered safe for most people when taken as directed. This form of niacin is designed to be gentler on the body and avoid the uncomfortable flushing effect associated with regular niacin. However, as with any supplement, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and be aware of any individual sensitivities or potential interactions with medications.
-
What are the side effects of taking niacin?
While No Flush Niacin is designed to minimize side effects, some people may still experience mild reactions. These can include digestive discomfort, such as nausea or stomach upset. In rare cases, more serious side effects like liver problems or glucose intolerance may occur, especially with high doses or long-term use.
-
Why is niacin no longer recommended?
Niacin, particularly in high doses, was once widely recommended for managing cholesterol levels. However, its recommendation has decreased due to mixed results in recent studies regarding its impact on cardiovascular outcomes. Additionally, the potential for side effects, especially with high-dose regular niacin, has led to a shift towards other cholesterol-management strategies.
-
Is niacin hard on your kidneys?
No Flush Niacin is generally not considered to be hard on the kidneys for most people when taken as directed. However, high doses of niacin in any form can potentially impact kidney function, especially in individuals with pre-existing kidney issues. It's always important to use supplements responsibly and be aware of your individual health status and any potential risks.
