    Niacin

    You are unlikely to find the You are unlikely to find the fast flush Niacin, unless you buy Twinlabs. Otherwise you find "time release" (almost no flush), or "niacinimide" (no flush ever). It doesn't really "warm you up" so much as causes the capillaries to dilate and cause the reddening...

I have rubbing problems (on the back of the heel/tendon) from Classics if I do a lot of walking rather than running in them, but I am fine walking or running with KSOs.
