Hi everyone, while I was in the store today I say a bottle of Niacin and had remembered reading about it several times on this board and decided to give it a shot. I also take zinc and vitamin B5 3 times a day...so i just tried one of the Niacin pills along with my regular B5 dose of 3 grams (per meal) and zinc (60 mg a day). I only took one Niacin Pill and about 20 minutes later my entire face was beet red and scorching hot...as well as the rest of my body was covered in splotchy red marks. I took some benadryl and that helped a lot but I was wondering if it was the Niacin that caused this reaction..I've never had a problem with the zinc of B5. Was it the combo of all 3 or simply the Niacin on its own. I hope someone can help me.
PS the B5 and Zinc regimen is working quite well
