About 1 in 100 people may experience a strong reaction to Vitamin B-3, also known as Niacin. This reaction is called a Niacin Flush and is a common response, especially when first trying this beneficial nutrient. If you find yourself feeling warm and tingly, don’t be alarmed—it’s just your body reacting to the increased blood circulation caused by Niacin.

How Long Will It Last?

Typically, this sensation will last around 15 to 20 minutes. While it may feel intense, remember that it’s a sign that the multivitamin is working. The Niacin is increasing blood flow to the surface of your skin, which is why you feel those effects.

Tips for Managing the Niacin FlushIf you’re caught off guard by this reaction, here are a few tips to help you adjust:

  1. Split Your Serving: For the next few days, try taking half of your serving in the morning and the other half at lunchtime. This gradual approach allows your body to acclimate to Niacin.
  2. Increase Dosage Gradually: Once you feel more comfortable, slowly increase your dosage until you can take the full serving without experiencing discomfort.

Why This Happens with Sport Formula Multivitamins

Our Sport Formula Multivitamins are highly potent and dissolve completely in your system. This sets them apart from traditional pills, which may not dissolve and provide fewer benefits. It’s important to understand that this potency can lead to a stronger initial reaction, but it’s a sign of quality.
