Schiff uses Inositol Hexanicotinate for a niacin source (nicotinate is a synonym for niacin), which lets enzymes in your body slowly release niacin to avoid the flushing response. Niacin in doses over 50 mg can cause flushing - red and itchy face and neck - when ingested in a non-time release form. Niacin is available in time-release tablets, and these products have less flushing reaction. These products release niacin slowly throughout the intestinal tract, which still presents the liver with a large niacin load. Simple, time-released niacin products have been associated with elevated liver enzymes in some users. The niacin used in Schiff Flush Free Niacin is Inositol Hexanicotinate, a different kind of time-release niacin. Inositol hexanicotinate is absorbed by the body, and inside of tissues, enzymes normally present in all cells slowly release niacin from the inositol. This allows niacin from inositol hexanicotinate to avoid flushing and provide what the cells really want - niacin in the right place at the right time in the right amounts. Niacinamide, another form of Vitamin B3 commonly used in dietary supplements and found in foods, does not cause flushing at any dose, but also does not have the cardiovascular health effects that niacin has. Niacin is involved in numerous reactions inside of cells that convert food into cellular energy.** Niacin helps operate enzymes that transport and break down fats, carbohydrates, proteins and other molecules formed from food.** A normal function of niacin is to help remove fats (triglycerides) from tissues and the bloodstream.**
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) tablet daily, with a meal.
