Niacin for Increased Growth

Hello Everyone! I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy like most of us women are!
I just wanted to know if anyone has information concerning Niacin. I've started taking an energy pill called Berry Energy and it has Niacin in it. After the first dose, I became flush and my face turned red, my scalp started to itch like crazy. My question is........does niacin increase or affect hair growth. I don't want to seem like I'm jumping to conclusions but since I've been taking this pill, I'm noticing that I have to rebraid more often.

TIA

I read before that Niacin was used for hair growth. It stimulates the scalp creating circulation.

HTH!
