Nutricost Niacin Vitamin B3 Powder 250 Grams - 1G Per Serving - Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Powder - May Cause Flush

Dissolves quickly. Easy to use. Good value for the money. Very strong so start with a small amount. My face was so flushed and itchy. Very real and works very quickly.

This is easy to use and it is one of the few vitamins I can tell is working. I find the Niacin flush is reduced when taken with a meal, and I worked from 4 doses to taking it all in two doses.Will buy again and again since this a great value.

This goes into my lemon water every morning. I only use about 1/8 of a teaspoon, as my skin is a bit sensitive, and flushes more easily than most. I will tell you, 1/8 tsp is PLENTY. I'm not sure where they got the "1 scoop = 1 serving, but that is way overkill. My dosage has done wonders for my cholesterol levels, and I'm sure my heart is thankful for it.It's great to add into your gym drink, or just your workday water bottle. Niacin does provide healthy energy production benefits, as an added bonus.If you're skin flushes and burns with niacin, I recommend taking it before bed. The flushing will be gone when you wake up, and you'll never even know it warmed you up while you slept!This is a ridiculous bargain compared to buying capsules. If you're only taking the normal recommended dosage for adults per day (100%), this one jar will literally last years.

Prefer the niacin in capsules. Taking one gram of the powder in water is sour. Adding some sugar helps. I liked the capsules that NOW Foods makes. It wouldn't really be possible to hide this in food - you feel the tingling almost immediately when you take it!After opening an unused car during a winter that had mice in it and breathing in the fumes, a week or two later in a matter of minutes a fever combined with chills hit, my heart was pounding, and my organs hurting. I started taking monolaurin and sat in front of the heat wrapped up five hours and over the next couple of days recovered - except for my heart. Six weeks of niacin, pomegranate juice, nattokinase and d-ribose finally did the trick. A few years later, my heart gave out again, disabling, and a toothache that spread. This time acupressure points worked, but as soon as the niacin and nattokinase and serrapeptase arrived, started downing them. Works great.Niacin also seems to be good for those who have bad depression, anxiety, and ADHD type issues, drug problems, and tick bites. It works within minutes, and even though it may give you a scare from the very temporary rash the first few times, it won't hurt you. Is deadly for some bacteria. If someone feels awful and hates everything or everything is impossible, this is worth trying and you'll know within the hour if it will help or not. There is a lot of research to do with mental illnesses referenced in a paper on the Mauve Factor, and a book by William Walsh, PhD.

I used this for my ducks, mixing 1 scoop per 2 quarts of water. It mixes well in water. The scoop is a lot smaller than I expected which is good because that means I’ll get more out of the jar! Only downfall is that the paper covering under the lid is hard to get off & didn’t come of in one easy peel.

It's the real deal niacin. I get a super flush when I use it. The price for that much product is great.

As you can see from other 1 star reviews, if you take a full dose you should expect a Niacin Flush that burns through your whole body. It took me 3 hours to recover while carefully watching my blood pressure and pulse. After half an hour, my pulse rate stabilized back to normal but my blood pressure jumped all over the map until I just lay in bed and tried to go to sleep. I had a scary few moments where I felt lightheaded as well. Don't try to walk. Just rest. But more importantly start with a very very low dose with food.UPDATE: 5 days later I still suffer from a niacin rash. This stuff is toxic, impure, and poorly made. DO NOT BUY. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.

*Updated 1/18/21* - I have done some experimenting. After reading other reviews on this and other brands of niacin powder where users agree that something has changed in the past few months, I noted that several reviewers mentioned that the newer version we are seeing is very granular compared to the previous batches which were a superfine powder. The newer granular product was said by some to not dissolve in water, whereas the fine powder readily dissolved. I did my own experiment and found that to be true. The new powder mostly floated on top of the water and gradually sank to the bottom and just sat there. Stirring did not help. After consulting an online chemical database, I found that niacin is said to be only weakly soluble in room temperature water, but highly soluble in hot water. I found that to be true with this newer batch. In hot water, it did dissolve with a little stirring in a couple of minutes. In tasting the solution, I got the recognizable flavor of niacin, just like the fine powder. I found that drinking the solution did indeed provide much of the effect of that I am accustomed to getting.So I am now of the opinion that at least part of the problem is mechanical - the newer granules are simply not assimilated in the gut the way the fine powder is. So maybe it is pure nicotinic acid that, due to the way it is manufactured, is not absorbed well. That makes me feel better that perhaps I have not ingested unknown fillers, but still does not make me happy with this new inferior form. **[Previous review] I agree with the other reports that something has changed and that this is not pure nicotinic acid (niacin, vitamin b3). I bought a tub of Nutricost niacin powder in October 2018. A very fine powder, with very potent flushing effect, very effective for overmethylation. I purchased most recently a tub in October of 2020. The texture is very granular, so something had changed. But that did not put me off from using it. However after several weeks I have realized that I get very little flush from this new batch. And most importantly, very little positive effect of the kind I got from the previous batch and from other brands of niacin. I contacted Nutricost and they were quick to trade emails (so, I give them credit for that.) However in the end they simply indicated that I have probably built up a tolerance to it.Well, I've been taking niacin for 3 years, and I am quite familiar with how niacin affects me. A search on Amazon showed that users of Pure Bulk powdered niacin have the same complaint about recent purchases. I am guessing it is coming from the same source. I now feel inclined to stick to solid brands that I know test their products like Now, Life Extenstion, Jarrow, Pure Encapsulations, and a few others. They may cost more, but what is the point in buying cheaper products if you are concerned that they are not pure?Two stars is probably more than deserved, at least for this batch, but it does have a mild effect so there is some active ingredient.
