Re: I'm burning up re:Niacin

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the words, . I took 500mgs of it, probably too much to

begin with.

I have been taking B1 and B2 and thought I should balance it out with B3.

But I'll be seeing a ND on the 25th who will hopefully straighten me out in

the nutrition and supplement department and until then, I have no more plans

to further experiment on my own.

Niacin is known to do this. Take baby aspirin if it happens again. My hubby

was on Niaspan (niacin) for cholesterol and had the same thing happen when

he took it. Doctor told him to take a baby aspirin with it and that should

abate some of the symptoms. Supposedly, your body does get used to it and

the flushing should only be temporary. His however, happened periodically

even after 3 months, so he was told to stop using it. The Niaspan was a much

higher dose than you would typically get in a vitamin supplement.

I have to admit, the reaction is rather frightening when it happens. I bet

you were scared! I literally watched as my hubby's skin turned red. Looked

like an instant sunburn. And he got all hot and sweaty. It was late at night

and we woke up my mum the nurse. After telling us not to panic, it would

pass, she commented to my hubby, " Now you know what menopause is like! " My

spouse agreed that this did teach him to be more understanding of what

things we women endure!
