> My friend too 400 mg. of this last night for sleep and she said it helped immensely. As this as good as niacinamide? Are there any problems with taking it every night?
As far as I know, there is virtually zero risk from this. This formulation avoids the niacin flush because the ester bonds between the nicotinic acid and the inositol are rather slowly broken. This permits the formation of niacinamide from the niacin, like a sustained release niacinamide tablet might.
