Niacin Powder

Start out taking a small amount until your body acclimates to prevent the dreaded flush - you'll experience slight flushing as you slowly increase dosage over time - took me two weeks to reach a full scoop (1 gram) - once you acclimate you'll be able to take 3 grams per day, the minimum dosage for affecting LDL levelsAnother benefit is this powder will also raise your HDL level at least by 5-6 pointsThis stuff is great - mix it with tea (no creamers they'll clump) or like what I do flavored water or sports pre workout drinks which is another benefit if this amazing vitaminThe reason you get a flush reaction is its a natural vasodilator meaning it relaxes your blood vessels - this is fantastic for exercising because it'll bring more O2 to your muscles while simultaneously keeping your blood pressure from spiking during heavy exercise or even walking fastThis vitamin is a must have for anyone seriously looking to benefit not just with lowering LDL but with many other health benefits - definitely check out the other fantastic amino acid and mineral powders from nutricost - they're well worth the value

It worked for me, I use it for my geese who lack niacin.

Prefer the niacin in capsules. Taking one gram of the powder in water is sour. Adding some sugar helps. I liked the capsules that NOW Foods makes. It wouldn't really be possible to hide this in food - you feel the tingling almost immediately when you take it!After opening an unused car during a winter that had mice in it and breathing in the fumes, a week or two later in a matter of minutes a fever combined with chills hit, my heart was pounding, and my organs hurting. I started taking monolaurin and sat in front of the heat wrapped up five hours and over the next couple of days recovered - except for my heart. Six weeks of niacin, pomegranate juice, nattokinase and d-ribose finally did the trick. A few years later, my heart gave out again, disabling, and a toothache that spread. This time acupressure points worked, but as soon as the niacin and nattokinase and serrapeptase arrived, started downing them. Works great.Niacin also seems to be good for those who have bad depression, anxiety, and ADHD type issues, drug problems, and tick bites. It works within minutes, and even though it may give you a scare from the very temporary rash the first few times, it won't hurt you. Is deadly for some bacteria. If someone feels awful and hates everything or everything is impossible, this is worth trying and you'll know within the hour if it will help or not. There is a lot of research to do with mental illnesses referenced in a paper on the Mauve Factor, and a book by William Walsh, PhD.

Start with very small doses. This product creates crazy hot flushes. Depending on your sensitivity, you may break out into hives-like splotches on the skin, which will subside after a number of hours. For severe cases, cold showers, drink tonnes of water, splash with chilled chamomile tea. Or just avoid all that and start with minute doses and work your way up until you know your tolerance. I take this for protein synthesis, so it's not immediately apparent if it's working, especially as it's part of my supplement stack. But, as niacin is know to flush, I guessing that it's doing its job.

Love this product, I use it on my ducks! Helps give thrm extra niacin

This goes into my lemon water every morning. I only use about 1/8 of a teaspoon, as my skin is a bit sensitive, and flushes more easily than most. I will tell you, 1/8 tsp is PLENTY. I'm not sure where they got the "1 scoop = 1 serving, but that is way overkill. My dosage has done wonders for my cholesterol levels, and I'm sure my heart is thankful for it.It's great to add into your gym drink, or just your workday water bottle. Niacin does provide healthy energy production benefits, as an added bonus.If you're skin flushes and burns with niacin, I recommend taking it before bed. The flushing will be gone when you wake up, and you'll never even know it warmed you up while you slept!This is a ridiculous bargain compared to buying capsules. If you're only taking the normal recommended dosage for adults per day (100%), this one jar will literally last years.

As you can see from other 1 star reviews, if you take a full dose you should expect a Niacin Flush that burns through your whole body. It took me 3 hours to recover while carefully watching my blood pressure and pulse. After half an hour, my pulse rate stabilized back to normal but my blood pressure jumped all over the map until I just lay in bed and tried to go to sleep. I had a scary few moments where I felt lightheaded as well. Don't try to walk. Just rest. But more importantly start with a very very low dose with food.UPDATE: 5 days later I still suffer from a niacin rash. This stuff is toxic, impure, and poorly made. DO NOT BUY. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.
