NOW Foods Flush Free Niacin 250mg, 180 VegiCaps (Two-Pack)

Why Choose Flush Free Niacin?

If you're looking for the benefits of vitamin B3 but want to avoid the uncomfortable flushing sensation, NOW Foods Flush Free Niacin is the answer. This special formulation uses inositol hexanicotinate, a form of niacin that is absorbed slowly, so you get the nutritional support of 250 mg per serving (2 VegiCaps) without the redness and tingling. Each bottle contains 180 capsules (90 servings), and this two-pack gives you a generous 6-month supply. Always read the labelled and follow directions for use.

How Does Flush Free Niacin Work?

Standard niacin (nicotinic acid) is absorbed rapidly, often causing blood vessels to dilate and produce a flush. In contrast, inositol hexanicotinate releases niacin gradually as it is broken down in the body. This slow release means you can enjoy the general benefits of vitamin B3—such as supporting energy metabolism and maintaining healthy skin—without the discomfort. However, please note that some research indicates the flush-free form may be less effective at raising HDL cholesterol compared to immediate-release niacin. Always consult your health care provider to decide what's right for you.

Key Benefits of Vitamin B3

Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, helping your body convert food into usable energy. It also supports the maintenance of healthy skin and normal psychological function. Adequate niacin intake, as part of a balanced diet, may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range. Additionally, niacin plays a role in reducing tiredness and fatigue, supporting overall vitality. These claims are based on established nutritional science and are recognised by the TGA for general health.

How to Use This Supplement

As a dietary supplement, take 2 VegiCaps daily, preferably with a meal. Each serving delivers 250 mg of niacin from inositol hexanicotinate. If you are new to niacin supplementation, start with a lower dose and gradually increase as tolerated. Do not exceed the recommended serving size unless directed by a healthcare professional. Store in a cool, dry place after opening. This two-pack provides two bottles of 180 capsules each, lasting 90 days per bottle.
