Involvement of Niacin, an essential B vitamin, in cellular energy
production means that it is essential for healthy cardiovascular function, nervous
system function, and immune function. Niacin nutritionally supports cholesterol
levels already within the normal range. 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.
