What's the difference b/w those two?
I went to a health store and asked for Niacinamide. She gave me Niacin (500mg) saying that is what I'm looking for.I'm taking it to calm me down. Am I taking correct drug?

It has to be niacinamide, for calming properties. I'd find a new health store.
Both niacin and niacinamide share a lot of properties, as they're both forms of vitamin B3. However, it's the differences between them that are important in this instance. Niacin does quite the opposite, with respect to calming.

Hi, most probably your product IS niacinamide, which usually comes in 500mg
A 500mg dose od niacin will give you a very strong flush.
Anyway, go check.

It says Niacin, and comes in 500mg.
Also, it says "Flush-Free". I actually haven't felt any Flush with this drug. I'm happy if it IS niacinamide. I think I'll finish the bottle anyway.> Hi, most probably your product IS niacinamide, which usually comes in 500mg

it canīt be plain niacin
there are some forms of niacin called no flush, one is inositol hexanicotinate (or like that)
