The Benefits
One of the greatest trends in health of the last few months is niacin flushing. Regular niacin flushing is very good for your general health and well-being. For example, it can help you lose a few pounds, detox the body of toxic waste and improve social anxiety. However, there are also some side effects of using an overdose of vitamin b3 (niacin). This article will explain how you can prevent this.
Niacin vs. Niacinamide
People often ask me if that can also use niacinamide in order to enjoy niacin flush benefits. The short and simple answer to this is: No. Niacinamide does indeed have no side effects, but it also does not widen your veins which causes the positive aspects of niacin flush. No pain no gain; it is as simple as that. The same goes for no-flush niacin.
Common Side Effects
The most common side effects of niacin flushing are a red skin. This happens because when you take in an overdose of vitamin b3, more blood will flow through the capillaries. These capillaries can be seen as access roads, if the veins were a highway. The capillaries often are located very close to the skin.
Another annoying side effect is the feeling that you have endured and intense sunburn or a tingling feeling in some parts of the body. This is your body ‘flushing’ the system, getting rid of waste stored in the fatty tissues.
Other side effects that could occur are:
Fortunately, there are some things you can do to make the side effects less intense. First of all, always be sure to take in an aspirin 30 minutes prior to your niacin rich meal/supplement. If you want to efficiently overdose niacin, I would recommend foods like tuna and chicken breast and if you are pressed for time or on vacation, take a supplement like Slo niacin.
Other things that may help to reduce the side effects are vitamin c tablets and garlic extract. Also be sure to drink a lot of water during the flushing period and go to the toilet often. Avoid alcoholic or hot beverages. Alcohol destroys niacin in the body, and thus makes the niacin flush more or less useless. The flushing will last for approximately 30 minutes, but this generally depends on the amount of overdose you took.
