Crash Course on Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

[@artsiecrafty4164]

I get a flush at 100 mg. Niacin has cured my depression. I take it three times a day and I get the flush in the morning. I don’t get a flush on a full stomach. I had depression my whole life and spent years o medication. I got off all meds and stuck to a low carb diet. I learned about niacin about a year ago. After two weeks, I noticed myself smiling and humming.

[@NansGlobalKitchen]

Wow that's awesome! So happy for you. But Niacin did not agree with me, I took 100mg of it and I ended up in the hospital ER. I was shaking so bad. At the ER they kepr me overnight for observation. Ever since that I am afraid to take it.

[@jayebirdjb7143]

@@NansGlobalKitchen it is very unsettling huh? I’ve had similar experiences, but not as severe as yours.

[@carolined5923]

Maybe it was another ingredient in it like a filler or preservative that you reacted to ? We never look at the bulking agent or fillers in supplements but most times they have some of these

[@wendya9973]

@@NansGlobalKitchen I had that happen the first time. It's from too many toxic chemicals in the body. Start super low and take a charcoal pill with it. It helps a lot

[@Arabian_Kn1ght]

Wow, so happy for you. I've read a book called "Niacin: The Real Story" by Dr. Andrew Saul and it seems that he too suggests that b3 deficiency causes depression and mental disorders. The book even clearly states "It appears that a good deal of modern psychiatry depends on patients suffering from unidentified pellagra for its bread and butter". So you might've had a case of subclinical pellagra.

British columbia CANADA here..ive had depression my entire life.. i found out about niacin from bill w, one of the founders of alcoholics anonymous, he took it the last five yrs of his life and it defeated his depression... Ive only been on it a week and feel a significant difference.... Appreciate your vids my friend.

[@timberrr1126]

See videos on Vitamin D3. At 5000 iu daily, it eliminates depression. If you are in higher latitudes you are not getting enough Sunlight. It takes two months to build up enough D3 in your body to begin the anti depression service. But you have to take Vitamin K2 m7 and magnesium with it-not necessarily at the same time. I take D3 and magnesium malate in the morning and 200mg K2 at lunch or dinner. If you weigh more or less than 180 lbs you can take more or less than 5,000 iu. The videos explain it all. It simply eliminates depression, and your arteries will have less plaque!

[@N3dita]

How much mg niacin do you take per day? And do you take it on an empty stomach? Or with food?

[@timberrr1126]

@@N3dita It is water soluble. But take it with a meal.

[@N3dita]

@@timberrr1126 at what dosage?

[@timberrr1126]

@@N3dita I am new to it. I once goofed and bought a bottle of 500mg pills Niacin. So I took just one, and I flushed so hard I had to eliminate on the toilet. My intestines had flushed! Everything flushes! So, this time i just take a 100mg pill with a meal. Flush is tiny. I am going to avoid 500mg dosage. If you are trying to lower your blood pressure, look at Nattokinase. If you want to clear your arteries, Use Vitamin K2 m7 and Vitamin D3. If you want to clean debris from your blood and arteries, use Serrapeptase for a limited time-like 3 weeks. Look up videos on all these.

[@bonnyf4331]

Thank you, Dr. Osborne, for this video on niacin. I'm a big fan of Abram Hoffer, who I heard about from Andrew Saul's vitamin videos. I bought his book, Niacin, The Real Story, and learned that niacin is best for cholesterol. In spite of my cardiologist's recommendation for statins for lipid panels, I started taking 3 g. a day of no flush inositol hexanicotinate. I got a beautiful lipid panel - ch-234, hdl-94, ldl-124, and trigl-66. And for depression, I take 500 mg. of niacinamide which shortly lifts my mood. I'm a fan.

There is some interesting info online about a young wrestler in Thailand who used it for drug resistant staph. I read that large amount of niacin can be used to get rid of a drug resistant staph infection, but they caution that it needs to be done in a hospital setting so the patient can be monitored. I'm just repeating what I read, I'm not a medical person.

[@LauraPazzaglia]

Can you discuss more about the Niacin flush? You alluded to it several times in the video but did not explain why it is beneficial how to do it and how often. Ciao from Italy!

[@colinthomson5358]

Some people get it with a dose as low as 50mg, others can take 4 or 5 grams without flushing. So you are best trying 50mg then adding 50mgs the next time and keep doing that till you work up to larger doses. I usually get it with 200mgs on an empty stomach after drinking coffee. However, I can take triple that without flushing if I take them after a big meal. Just be careful as many people really don't like it. I do kinda like it but even I didn't like it when I took too much. It was too strong a reaction and I felt uncomfortable. It really does feel like you have sunburn and it can be very itchy especially on your back and chest and shoulders.
