Flush niacin is niacinamide, not nicotinic acid (flush niacin). You want to take the melatonin BEFORE the niacin by about 15-30 mins. You get the melatonin into the cells first, then the niacin comes along and does it's thing. If there isn't enough melatonin in the cells, the excess niacin is expressed in the flush. The good news is you can replace the synthesized melatonin with pistachios.
Therapeutic doses for vaax injury, covid or long covid are 2000mg niacin 3x per day and as much melatonin as it takes to NOT flush. For non covid and non-vaxxed prevention is 1500mg niacin (for an adult of course) 3x a day. You would stay at that dose until you can start lowering melatonin dose and not flush.
This goes far beyond covid. Melatonin is much more important than it's marketed sleep assistance. That's a tiny dose. But the pistachios have highly bioavailable melatonin so need need far less than the powdered supplement.
