About this supplement
Niacin, vitamin B3, is a water-soluble nutrient the body does not store, so it has to come in regularly. It helps the body turn food into energy and supports the normal function of nerves, skin and the digestive system. Plain niacin at higher amounts tends to cause a flush: harmless, but a hot, itchy, prickly feeling that puts many people off.
AOR's No-Flush uses inositol hexanicotinate, niacin bound to inositol, which releases into the body slowly enough to avoid the flush. Each capsule provides 550 mg, giving 500 mg of niacin and 121 mg of inositol, in a plain hypromellose capsule.
- 90 veggie capsules
- 500 mg niacin as inositol hexanicotinate per capsule
- Flush-free form
Highlights
Niacin is an essential nutrient, also known as vitamin B3. It is found in foods such as legumes, nuts, avocados, eggs, meat and dairy products. Niacin is water-soluble and is not stored in the body, meaning that it is important to ensure that adequate amounts are consumed through the diet and supplements.
Niacin helps with the proper functioning of the nerves, skin and digestive system. It is an important factor in the metabolism of foods into energy; and is required in many essential biological functions including cellular energy production and DNA repair. While niacin’s effects are beneficial, it often causes an uncomfortable symptom known as the “niacin flush”, a harmless but uncomfortable sensation of warming and itching of the skin. Niacinamide, a common type of sustained release niacin, does not cause this flushing effect, but comes with the even worse side effect of potential liver damage.
AOR’s Niacin No-Flush provides a unique form of niacin, known as inositol hexanicotinate (IHN), a compound that releases vitamin B3 into the body slowly to prevent the flushing effect but without the potential risks to the liver caused by niacinamide. Niacin No-Flush is a great way to increase your niacin intake without the uncomfortable flushing side effects.
AOR Advantage
AOR’s Niacin No-Flush contains Inositol hexanicotinate, a form of niacin that is bound to inositol. This formation allows it to deliver niacin to the bloodstream slowly and in a controlled fashion, avoiding both the unpleasantness of flushing and the danger of liver damage.
