Nicotinic Acid may (rarely) cause Muscle Cramps when supplemented at dosages above 100 mg per day.
Nicotinic Acid may (rarely) cause Headaches when supplemented at dosages above 100 mg per day.
Inositol Hexanicotinate is regarded as the safest form of supplemental Nicotinic Acid and can be safely used in doses of up to 4,000 mg per day.
Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) is used up to 4 grams a day, however this is a large dose. I'd say 100mg won't give you any significant problems, but as always use caution.
