Good to know! I love the niacin flush. I've heard that niacin is really good for cholesterol and other things, so this new potential benefit makes it even better.

I don't mind the flush and how it makes my nose run, but I've heard that other things will mitigate the flushing. Might be vitamin B6? I don't recall.

I had heard Michael Savage talk about it briefly and was impressed enough by what he said about it to do my own research to see if he was right. I've been taking it ever since.

"Niacin flush" helps kick my migraines.

I'm taking 2 grams a day.

Yes, niacin often has this effect due to its vasodilating properties.

One thing to keep in mind is that conversion of niacin into niacinamide (evidenced by "flush" reaction) may be somewhat hard on the liver, so investigate and consider taking the Deglycyrrizinated Licorice (DGL) or Milk Thistle supplements or eating artichokes (thistle family plant) along with niacin.
