> > A coupla weeks ago, I read with interest, the posts on Niacin (niacinimide/nicotinate?) and mood. I happened to be already taking "no- flush" niacin (actually Inositol Hexanicinate, also described as Inositol Nicotinate on the bottle). Says it delivers 500mg flush free Niacin and 120mg Inositol. Is this form as effective as the ones you were discussing?? If not, which do you recommend?

And, contrary to what btnd posted, they're not the same thing, either.Yupp, I mistyped - what I meant was that niacinamide and nicotinamide are the same thing, and they are free of the niacin flushing side effect and niacin has different properties than niacinamide/nicotinamide.
My mistake.Take care,
