Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 In the last few days, there has been a lot of posts on niacin. This is my unsolicited view of reactions from niacin. 1. If you get a reaction from niacin, you are taking too much. So take less, or better yet get your nutrients the NATURAL WAY, from whole foods. I'm not sure the reaction is such a good thing. 2. One view about why the reaction takes place is that you have taken more than your body can process( receptor sites etc.) so the reaction is caused by excess niacin in the blood. As the body absorbs the excess the reaction subsides. 3. Taking large amounts of supplements can cause imbalances in the body. Humans are designed to get their nutrients from digesting FOOD. Food is your best medicine. Supplements, especially in large doses should only be taken to correct a known nutritional imbalance. 4. If your body has a reaction to something, ITS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. Why have you decided that you are smarter than 100,000 years of evolution, or God's engineering. (you choose) 5. If you must take supplemental niacin, take less more often. 6. Niacin and other supplements comes from companies that are usually one step down from the pharmaceutical companies. 8. If you insist on taking large amounts of niacin, and you get a reaction, don't complain or get surprised, WHAT did you expect? At least you know its working! Many of you will disagree with this list, that why its called an opinion. thoughtfully, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
