niaspan

Avatar m tn Having Chromium and Niacin listed as separate ingredients would not be the same as Chromium Picolinate. Separately, (Niacin would be niacin and Chromium would be Chromium plus one of the chelators). It can get very confusing, but with all of that said, per the National Institute of Health "...given the limited data on chromium absorption in humans, it is not clear which forms are best to take.
1063764 tn?1272821064 I was watching a documentary and heard about a case where a woman was put on niacin supplements for depression. She was taking very large dosages, but it completely pulled her out of her depression. So far fluoxetine has helped me, but I think in time I will need a larger dosage. I would really rather not do that, so my question is: is it safe to take niacin supplements of 100 mg daily plus an extra multivitamin with 20mg. I don't want to end up taking too many vitamins.
Avatar n tn 3) Response to over-the-counter supplements vary from person to person, so the effect of niacin vs. fish oil on your triglyceride level is unknown. 4) There is some evidence that coenzyme Q10 may help with statin-induced muscle pain, but there is not any well-documented studies to support its use.
Avatar n tn Background: I have engaged a Niacin regimen to cut cholesterol (vs. using statin drugs) because Niacin also raises HDL and cuts LPa and triglycerides (while statins only cut LDL). I have been on this regimen since 2003 and the effect on my cholesterol/triglycerides and LPa has been more than as hoped for. Just as with statin drugs, it is necessary to get regular blood tests (ideally every 6 months) to ensure there is no liver damage.
Avatar m tn I stopped taking statins because of serious side effects and found in books on nutrition that 500mg of vitamin c and nuts as they contain niacin which reduces cholesterol naturally.
Avatar m tn I found this interesting podcast from Chris Kresser - RHR: How Your Lipoprotein(a) Level Affects Your Risk of Heart Disease. So from that info find a good quality fish oil. I believe Krill Oil is even better but it's more expensive. There is also niacin (look for non flush niacin) and L-carnitine. And of course look at your diet. You can check out what to eat and avoid on this article from Authority Nutrition: A Paleo Diet Meal Plan and Menu That Can Save Your Life.
Avatar n tn Unfortunately most drugs for cholesteral like Lipitor and the other, are considered statins, and most statins are not good for the liver. If your cholesteral is still high, niacin is a natural supplement that will also reduce your cholesteral numbers.
Avatar m tn t have enough self control to lose any weight. I had muscle pain and memory loss with statins, flushing and finally facial swelling with niacin supplements. The memory loss was so bad, I sold my veterinary practice and retired BEFORE the lawsuit. I ran for exercise until I wore out my left knee, now I walk. Again, these labs are before any medication.
Avatar n tn Take niacin Vitamin b3. it will detoxify your circulatory system. if you have monoxide poisoning it will be negatively effecting your circulatory system and thus all organs that are linked to your circulatory system. take 250 mg for the first 3 days and jump up to 500 mg for 5 more days.
718651 tn?1237042917 I was thinking today of if taking niacin would make the opiate come out of your system faster... i've heard of people taking higher doses to get drugs out of their system to pass a UA.. has anyone tried this?? or do you think it will work??
475570 tn?1280941363 I just want to add that this was a study of Niaspan - the time release version of Niacin - and not Niacin.
Avatar n tn This will continue until ALL of the THC is out of your body. The 30 day rule is a myth. When fat cells burn, the stored THC metabolizes into THCA and is released back into the bloodstream. From there, the kidneys filter the THCA from the bloodstream and deposits them into the bladder for the eventual excretion.
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?
Cat Hi! If you were my patient, I would advise you that buproprion can cause a false positive drug test for amphetamines. THC is marijuana. Buproprion is probably not the problem. Good luck!
Avatar m tn I mean THC derived from cannabis.
Avatar n tn do they test every time ,and i might have some thc,,to hender my treatment...
Avatar m tn science will say theres nothing you can do to rid the body of thc because it stores in the fat cells. but i know for a fact that a niacin flush will do the "impossible". so i think a person could test positive in a blood test for HSV-1 and/or HSV-2, spend a grueling month or two doing vigorous excercise and niacin flushing (as well as nutritional eating and rest) and then test negative for both HSV-1 and HSV-2.
Avatar n tn Had a UA done on the first visit, which was clean but I thought I had some thc in it, but it was negative. Will I be tested on this second appointment and what will happen if it is positive for marajuana?-- I was prescribed oxycodone, xanax, and soma.
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 Hello, I have recently heard that Niacin is good for lowering cholesterol. Anyone have any experience with this?
Avatar m tn Niaspan is NOT standard treatment for fatty liver disease. NIASPAN® (niacin extended-release tablets), contain niacin, a B-complex vitamin and antihyperlipidemic agent. What type of fatty liver disease do you have? NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease), NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis). AASLD Treatment Guidelines: Recommendations 16. Weight loss generally reduces hepatic steatosis, achieved either by hypocaloric diet alone or in conjunction with increased physical activity. 17.
