Eat them right before you go the gym. Their high in L-arginine that can actually boost your carb and fat burn during your workout. Navy Beans, Niacin: 1/2 cup, 1.5 mg Daily Value: 9%.

Improving these two aid in overall improvement in total cholesterol numbers. But niacin can have real draw backs too. You MUST talk to your doctor before starting a niacin supplement in my opinion. And if you are on a cholesterol lowering medication already, it may have no effect at all. It IS in a lot of multi vitamins and in food we eat, you are already getting some niacin. https://www.mayoclinic.

You can employ several strategies to greatly minimize or even eliminate niacin-induced hot flushes: Drink plenty of water. This is very important and especially helpful when you experience a hot flush: drink two 8- to 12-ounce glasses of water immediately, and the hot flush will almost always disappear within a few minutes. If you need to drink water to block hot flushes but find yourself getting up several times a night to urinate, take your niacin with dinner or breakfast.

How much Niacin were you taking daily? Was your physician aware you were going to take the Niacin to lower your cholesterol? Were you taking any other medications at the same time?

Hey, so Actually... I would recommend niacin to make them go away. Lol, sorry, reallly touchy subject. But it sounds like you took way too much the first time, If you take doses of 100mg and slowly build your way up you should be fine, I don't know who you got it from the first time, but It really doesn't sound like there was a lot of research done before.

Niacin is essential to a healthy diet but too much can cause you to turn bright red, hot and itchy. It's usually found in such low doses in foods, that it won't happen unless you take niacin tablets directly, and too many of them.

Most flush-free niacin isn't very strong, especially niacinamide, which probably does nothing. So if you're going to try large doses, you might have to endure the flush. You also should do this in conjunction with your physician or a naturopath, as too much niacin can be dangerous. It can also affect your levels of other B vitamins. I've heard of it being used for anxiety, and it does calm the heart. It energizes those who need it, so I don't know about it making you tired.

I've read low dose aspirin may help decrease flushing in some people. You can buy non-flush niacin supplements though.

What is the purpose of the niacin and should a niacin supplement be administered if the medication does not contain niacin?

The flushing makes your skin red in color and sometimes warm to the touch. Sometimes, taking an aspirin before taking the niacin can prevent the flushing. Don't do this without discussing it with your doctor. Drinking hot drinks or alcohol can also increase the flushing, so it is best to avoid these when taking the niacin. Also, niacin should not be taken with certain drugs.

The rash itself is harmless and it will go away on its own, and needs no treatment. You can take an antihistamine but make sure you are not feeling difficulty of breathing, fainting, tightness in your chest or any swelling. You can go to a cholesterol specialist or any doctor will do, depending on the reason why you were taking niacin. Take care and keep us posted.

valve replacement 2001, redid bypasses. I was on 40mg Lipitor and 500mg no-flush niacin for a number of years with moderate sucess. I subscribe to the Cleveland Clinic Heart Newsletter. In the July 2007 issue there was suggestion that 1,500mg niacin was a good statin supplement. Starting in July 2007 I followed this suggestion, taking 1,500mg slow-release niacin with the Lipitor. I have biannual blood tests.

Thanks, Niacin actually can damage the liver but the thyroid thing is a concern. Thanks for the response.

I now have an Epi-Pen (adrenaline) that I carry around with me because I have been told that this sort of allergic reaction can kill you.
