BulkSupplements.com Niacin Powder - Vitamin B3 Supplement, Niacin Flush - Gluten Free, 500mg per Serving, 1kg (2.2 lbs) (Pack of 1)

I purchased this for detox with my Infrared Sauna. I've been reading quite a bit about this procedure that it creates a flush then a dilation of the blood vessels. That in conjunction with exercise, sauna, or hot tub, brings about a very deep sweat detoxification. I will attest that this is indeed a very good B3 (Niacin) because I was reading that you should start with 100 to 200 mg, and I went with 100 mg which brought about a very uncomfortable flush. True to a great deal of what I read, the flush came with in 10 minutes (for me) and it was like I was on fire! I then got into an already heated Sauna for 25 minutes and was able to sweat faster and quite a bit more then I usually do. I'm a *hard* sweater, takes a while and I mean sometimes its annoying, I can sit in a sauna that is 135 and I still won't sweat until it reaches approximately 145, then I start to feel sweat droplets trying to form. By the time it reaches 150 - 155 I'm sweating in a good way, but with the Niacin, I was already sweating with the temps in the 130's, so this is good for me. I sauna approximately 1 to 2 times a week, so that's as much as I will use Niacin, and from my research, that's within the minimum guidelines. Apparently, your body will get used to the Niacin, but I will err on the side of caution and lower it to 50 mg next time, and increase the dose if its necessary. Niacin has quite a reputation for other health issues, such as heart and blood vessels, lowers LDL cholesterol, etc. I'm very satisfied with the quality of this Niacin, very fine powder. I used 1/16 which is a bit above 100mg, and next time I'll lower that to 1/32. You can get these tiny measuring spoons on Amazon...they come in a set of 1/64, 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4.

Great supplements good price

I use this to supplement niacin for my ducklings as a preventative measure. I mix a small amount into their water, and they drink it without any issues. It’s water soluble, so there’s no risk of overdosing, which takes the stress out of dosing.I don’t wait for signs of deficiency—I give it to them right away. But in the past, when I’ve had ducklings showing signs of niacin deficiency, I’ve seen noticeable improvement within about two days of using this powder. That’s why I don’t skip it anymore.It’s inexpensive, easy to use, and crucial for healthy development. If you raise ducks, especially fast-growing breeds, this is something you want on hand from day one.

I was looking for a niacin product that would provide the heat flushes on a consistent basis and this product definitely delivers in that regard. Due to my diet and lifestyle I take between 4-6 grams of niacin per day and by buying this product in powder form I was able to save a tremendous amount of money over the tablet form. I usually take one to two grams mixed in with water and a few other powders at the same time. I get the flush within 5 minutes every time and it is a very "pure" flush that I feel throughout my body.Only drawback is the powder tastes rather bad so I recommended mixing it with other powders or into juice or morning shake. Also the bag doesn't reseal well so do yourself a favor and get a quality to store your niacin.Highly recommend this brand for people who have a high tolerance for niacin flushes and looking to dose a higher amount on a daily basis.

I will have niacin to last for a good long while. These stuff is of excellent quality. It absorbs very well. Yes, there is a flush and it warms up the skin. Great for the joints and good for hair growth. The dosage is perfect however I tend to split up the dose and take a little through out the day. This Niacin works like a charm. I think it tastes good…slightly tart. I definitely recommend this Niacin.

I can’t find my original review of 5 star in 2013-2014. Niacin helped me tremendously in lowering my cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides. It also helped lower my ALT (liver enzymes). After about two years, I started having palpitations and skipped beats. I stopped taking niacin. Unfortunately, I started to develop issues with my heart (PVC, PAC, proximal tachycardia, atrial fluttering, Afib)-all related to heart’s electrical system). These are all caused by niacin. I finally have them under control but sometimes I wish I had blockage instead. This doesn’t mean that you will have similar issues but I suggest you STOP using niacin at a first sign of heart palpitation or a skipped beat. Anything you feel in your heart will be a reason to stop. You certainly don’t want to trade atherosclerosis with Arrhythmias. Atherosclerosis may kill you once but Arrhythmias will kill you everyday over and over-just ask anyone with aFib or ventricular tachycardia.

This stuff is great, I was taking pills before and I'm sick of all the needless ingredients in the pills. I saw someone gave this product one star and said "I broke out in a blotchy rash on my chest, shoulders, arms and legs. My ears were burning up and my head got really warm after drinking the recommended dosage." That's what Niacin does when you first take it if you haven't built up a tolerance; it's called the Niacin Flush, you have to build up a dosage to it over a little time, you can't just start taking a large amount on the first day if you haven't taken it before. If you've never taken Niacin before read up about it first - amazon carries an excellent book on Niacin written by Abram Hoffer, Andrew Saul, and Harold Foster (see picture). I recommend this product and I've been taking Niacin for decades to improve my cholesterol levels.
