A member asked:
Are niacin and nitric oxide the same thing? i have an allergic reaction to niacin, would i have the same reaction to nitric oxide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different: Niacin is a vitamin and nitric oxide is a cellular signal molecule created in the body by an enzyme named nitric oxide synthase. There is no cross reactivity in terms of adverse reactions.
