Had a relative say he was going to take it as a treatment for his ADHD and he’d read some articles. This relative is all over the place with legit ideas mixed with ones I don’t think have the scientific backing. I thought about looking it up like I usually would and just felt tired (there are so many fake sites and articles about medical stuff to sift through…). But someone here maybe already researched it or has actual background on the subject? For all I know, this is a completely well known and mundane treatment for it.
Flush = Red and hot
Flush = Remove metabolite
Two different things. I was happy to use the non shit experience version.
The first one is the generic meaning for one your skin tends red…
The second one is “niacin flush”.
There isn’t two different versions, you just don’t understand.

It’s called “niacin flush” because the visible reaction includes “flushing” but it’s more than that.
If there’s “no flush niacin” that just means the advertised dosage isn’t enough for what the vast majority of people taking niacin are taking it for.
They intentionally take a dose high enough to trigger a “niacin flush” because some of the junk it pushes out of your skin, are the metobolites that would make you test positive on certain urinalysis tests.
Huh, well that’s interesting. I guess my info from the E3 mafia was incorrect after all.
Or I’ve forgotten in the intervening 20 years. Either way, point to you!
See there’s your problem, you were supposed to listen to the E-4 mafia!
