Avatar f tn Niacin in most people causes the face to flush/blush. No flush Niacin is readily available OTC. A word of caution, however, Niacin is a B3 and B3's are known to elevate blood sugars. Test your bs often and on a regular basis.
Avatar f tn Is it safe for me to take Centrum Cardio Vitamins (with plant phytols) to help lower my cholesterol? Also, does buffered niacin (or non-flushing niacin) work equally as well as regular niacin in helping to lower cholesterol? And is it safe to take with coumadin?
Avatar f tn Standing up for work, imbalance of calcium, potassium, sodium, peripheral artery disease, damage to spinal cord, diabetes can all cause this paresthesia. Vitamin B1,B6, B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism need to be checked.Consult a physician who would evaluate these symptoms and ask for relevant investigations. Hope this helps. Take care.
Avatar m tn By contrast, slow-release niacin preparations reduce the hot-flush effect by releasing niacin over an extended period of 12 hours or longer. Most of these preparations are unsafe and I do not recommend them. “No-flush” niacin preparations, such as inositol hexaniacinate and nicotinamide, are widely sold as niacin alternatives that do not cause hot flushes. In my experience, however, they simply do not work. In other words, no flush, no effect.
Avatar f tn My little guy who is a superslim biracial child (white/African-American) has developed a dark patch of skin on the front of his neck. It looks a bit scaley in appearrance. It does not hurt or itch he says. In trying to find some info on what it might be, I ran across Acanthosis Nigricans, but it says it mostly occurs in overweight and obese children. Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm a little worried about the risk for type 2 diabetes if that is what this indicates.

Avatar m tn Niacin is important for the conversion of carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy! Adults need about 16 milligrams a day. Almonds, Niacin Content: 1 oz, 1 mg Daily Value: 6%. 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%. They contain resistant starch, a type of fiber that boosts calorie burn by up to 23%.
Tbd What is the purpose of the niacin and should a niacin supplement be administered if the medication does not contain niacin?

Avatar n tn Hi, I'm a 35 year old Asian American male with no family history of diabetes, although some relatives have had high blood pressure/cholesterol.

Avatar f tn But she really want to continue to take the Lipo-Flavonoid (which contains Vitamin B1, B2, B6,B12, C, niacin, pantothenic acid, and calcium) because she said that it helps with her tinnitus.

Avatar f tn I would ask your doctor if Niacin (1500 mg per day) might help you. You might be missing something that this might help. However, it does cause flushing, so a lower mg to start might be advisable, and also eat a larger dose of fibre (apples, potato -with skin, lettuce, broccoli, etc.) as it tends to constipate you a bit, but if you can find the fine balance, it might help you.
Avatar n tn The most common cause of AN is insulin resistance. Conditions associated with AN include type 2 diabetes, obesity, PCOS, Cushing's Disease, and hypothyroidism. In some cases, AN is inherited. Certain medications such as oral contraceptives and large doses of niacin (vitamin B3) can be a cause. Rarely, acanthosis nigricans is associated with certain types of cancer, usually a gastric adenocarcinoma.
463841 tn?1207438535 If so, then he/she would certainly be able to advise you on the wisdom of taking this. Niacin can be good in many respects, but it can also be bad in others. Better to play it safe. You take care, OK? And let us know what your doc says.
