If you’ve just taken your Sport Formula Multivitamins for the first time and experienced a warm, tingly, or itchy sensation—or even noticed your skin turning red—you might be wondering if this is normal. The short answer is yes, it is completely normal! Let’s break down what’s happening.
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.
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.
