I am familiar with the Niacin "flush". This was different. I was basically breaking out in itchy red patches that did not go away. I had to apply steroid cream to control it. I ditched the bio-sil and got on a B-complex supplement. It slowly got better over the period of about a month. It is now completely gone. I can't say for sure if it was the horsetail or biosil, but those were the only things that were changed in my diet.

I'm not on a hair multi-vitamin. In retrospect, I see the advantage as it would keep things balanced.
