Niacin flush question.?!
Question: Niacin flush question.?
I took a niacin supplement about an hour ago, and now I have this strange "snapping" under my skin. Happens every minute or so, and on different parts of my body. Feels like someone snapped a rubber band under my skin. Everything I'm reading about "niacin flush" talks about itching. Just want to be sure I'm normal.

Yes, it's normal. I take it at bedtime so that I sleep through the worst of it.
If you are one of the many who are inconvenienced with this side effect, you may be pleased to know that there are other niacin vitamin supplements that have been formulated to minimize or even do away with flushing.

Probably histamine release. If your are trying to 'detox' - it won't work btw.
