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.

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 love Niacin! I am one of those individuals that is very sensitive to Niacin. I started with the full recommended daily dose, which kick-started 2 of the most horrible hours of my life. It started with a warm tingling sensation in the ears, then moved to my face, throat, shoulders, arms, and then legs. That wasn't too bad, but I discovered that was only the first wave. The second wave was the bad part. I had a horrible itching sensation, like when you get a really bad sunburn. It was an itch from hell. PAINFUL. I ended up taking a COLD shower for over an hour, trying to numb the itch by slapping cold rags over my body again and again, like a Medieval monk whipping his body as penance. My entire family was laughing. My wife was researching online and read that if I drink a few glass of water it helps relieve the symptoms. I swigged down 16 ounces, and sure enough in about 3 minutes everything went away. So why a 5-star review? Because it isn't Bulksupplements fault that I respond strongly to Niacin. I've learned that with only 1/16 of a teaspoon I still get a very light "flush" (tingling sensation in my ears and face, a little in my arms), but avoid the 2-hour painful ordeal. I am hoping to slowly build up to a strong daily dose. I won't get my blood work done for another 6 months, but I am excited about the possibility of lowering my LDL.

So I got the Kg size for a good price, but I'm not as keen on the form, as it is too powdery, like dealing with powdered sugar. It sticks to measuring spoons and handles, it's just messy. I bought another brand before this and it was more granular, and didn't have these issues. I'll probably use a silver spoon outside of the container I have it in instead of a plastic spoon inside to lessen the mess going forward.

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.

This is the WORST ever because of the Niacin Flush! They should WARN customers that it causes a crazy itch as well as burning all over my body that I had to get under the cold water for at least 20 minutes and it lasted at least a n hour so it was PURE HELL!! Now, I will get them in capsules so I don't have to get Itchy, Burning body!!

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.

Excelente

I have been ordering Bulk Supplement Niacin powder close to 3 years. This recent pack seems different from the past packages I received. The powder is coarse and undissolvable. The taste is faint tart. I am just confused if I should return. Is this normal or a change in manufacturing?

I'm very happy with the supplements. Unlike pills and tablets I can take a smaller amount and mix it in with my food.

Much better than pills or tablets, this will let me years.
