Niacin and different forms of Vitamin B3

[Guest guest]

To quote from the Natural News article:

nicotinamide, the vitamin B3 widely found in foods such as meat, poultry, fish, nuts and seeds. Nicotinamide is also the form of niacin found, in far greater quantity, in dietary supplements. It is more commonly known as niacinamide. It is inexpensive and its safety is long established. The most common side effect of niacinamide in very high doses is nausea. This can be eliminated by taking less, by using regular niacin instead, which may cause a warm flush, or choosing inositol hexaniacinate, which does not. They are all vitamin B3.

Given that information, I think I will be choosing the inositol hexaniacinate form of Vitamin B3 - which is probably what the no-flush niacin is that you refer to.

I have heard that the reason one gets a warm buzz when one drinks

kombucha is because it has a good amount of the food-based form of

Niacinimide. I always feel like I've had some very good wine, but I

never get intoxicated because kombucha is non-alcoholic. But you get

that same warm " flush " all over your body. But it is pleasant, not like

what you get with the pills.
