10 Side Effects of Niacin
Niacin Side Effect #2: Chills
Chills are another symptom that most of us will have experienced at least once in our lives. They are a clear sign that you are ill and are commonly caused by the flu. Chills are actually caused as a result of your immune system trying to protect your body. Sometimes, they can be caused by supplements such as niacin.
Chills are caused when your body’s internal thermostat is adjusted when your body is trying to fight off an illness. With your thermostat adjusted to make your body heat up, you feel cold even when your body is hot or at a natural temperature.
