Niacin is also available as "flush-free".

The information I’ve read it’s a nicotinic acid which causes the flush and it’s that acid which is supposed to help reduce cholesterol levels. While no-flush niacin works as other B vitamins to promote energy metabolism it has not been shown very well to have an effect on cholesterol levels.

But as always check with your doctor and make yourself aware of the side effects. They’re always pros and cons to everything we shove in our pie-hole.

One never stops learning, this was new to me. Luckily I can report that when I took very high doses of B2 and B3 for 3 months when I started to go deep into Iodine, that I suffered no flush at all. Never, despite significantly high doses (for 3 months only).
