Flushing is a temporary redness of the skin, similar to a niacin flush, experienced by some individuals after taking NR. It's generally harmless and resolves on its own.
Flushing, characterized by redness of the skin, particularly on the face, neck, and chest, can occur as a side effect following the consumption of nicotinamide riboside (NR). This reaction is similar to that observed with niacin and is often attributed to the activation of prostaglandin receptors in the skin's blood vessels, leading to vasodilation. Symptoms may include a warm or hot sensation, itching, and a visible redness of the skin. While generally harmless and self-limiting, the intensity can vary between individuals.
