Is flush free niacin inositol hexanicotinate the same as long acting niacin?

No. Flush-free niacin is niacin (nicotinic acid) that has been encapsulated to make it dissolve slowly. It is sold as "Niaspan" and is a prescription drug. Inositol hexanicotinate can be thought of as an inositol molecule (a hexa-alcohol) to which six niacin molecules have been attached as esters. When metabolized, inositol hexanicotinate is more likely to form niacinamide and not niacin (the acid form). Inositoll hexanicotinate's effect on the body is usually considered to lower LDLs but it does not appear to raise HDLs like niacin.Niaspan in most definitely NOT flush free. When I was taking it I typically got 2 or 3 flushes a day. The worst was the first, I was at home sleeping and the pain woke me, I eventually had to completely undress as it was unbearably painful to have anything touch my skin. It took about half an hour to recede. The Inositol Hexanicotinate is the only form I have seen advertised as "Flush Free". You can also get a form of delayed release niacin OTC that is not Niaspan, but it doesn't claim to be "Flush Free" either.


What is niacinamide?

Niacinamide is the amide of vitamin B3. Other names for niacinamide include nicotinic acid amide and nicotinamide. This is also known as "flush free" niacin; it has the same vitamin qualities as niacin but does not lower cholesterol like niacin does, and it may be toxic to the liver at doses over 3g/day.

If you start taking niacin 5 days before your test and drink water the night before can you pass your urine test?

Quote from the Related Link: "Drug-users have long advocated the use of the B vitamin Niacin to help "flush" out drugs in order to pass a drug test. As it turns out, this is not only useless, but it may put you in the hospital.Niacin is also known as vitamin B3. This vitamin aidsin digestion, hormone production, skin health, and nervous system maintenance (www.sciencenews.org). Niacin has a role in fat metabolism and doctors often prescribe niacin in large doses to patients with high cholesterol and triglycerides. Using this same idea, many drug users believe that niacin can also cleanse or "flush" the body of illicit drugs, especially marijuana.However, this wide held belief in this "Niacin regimen" are not only incorrect, but can be very dangerous. Niacin has not been found to remove drugs from the body. Even so, many people use this niacin regimen, and it lands some in the emergency room.Dr. Manoj K. Mittal, of a Philadelphia hospital reports that four patients presented to the E.R. due to adverse Niacin reactions. Two of the four Philadelphia patients exhibited nausea, rapid heartbeat and heart palpitations, dizziness, dehydration, low blood sugar, blood-clotting abnormalities, liver toxicity, and a dangerous drop in blood pH (www.sciencenews.org). One seventeen-year-old girl was brought to the E.R. in a coma as a result of too much niacin.These patients tested positive for marijuana in a urine test conducted at the hospital. So obviously, the niacin did not "flush" the drug away.The negative effects of too much niacin usually are reversed with time. In severe cases, though, the overdose of niacin can lead to acute liver failure (www.cnn.com)."
