Customer Reviews of Twinlab Niacin (B-3) 500mg, 100 Capsules (Pack of 4)
Customer Review: Great Product -- CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this product for a year after switching from GNC's niacin (B3). GNC's product was good, but very expensive. I no longer experience the "Niacin Flush" that people are complaining about.
Before taking any megadose supplement/vitamin, you should CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR. Taking large doses of vitamin B3 (niacin) requires you to have good liver function. If your liver function is poor, you could permanently damage it. My doctor specifically told me to STAY AWAY FROM THE "NO-FLUSH" NIACINAMIDE.
Niacin, vitamin B3 has been recommended for raising your HDL and lowering your LDL blood levels. The ratio of HDL to LDL has been linked with heart health. My doctor also recommended having 1-2 alcoholic beverages a day to help bolster the good effect. The doctors don't yet really understand how this all works, but the data is pretty convincing. Having more than 2 alcoholic beverages a day is counterproductive to heart health.
Your doctor should tell you that a "niacin flush" and itching are very common side effects that you may experience. That is why the doctor will tell you to start with a small ~100mg dose and then slowly work your way up to the 1,000mg dose. This gradual buildup will help keep your immune system from launching the very uncomfortable itching and blotchy rash "hives". Some have described it as being similar to a hot flash.
Once you build up to the therapeutic dosage, your body will recognize that the niacin is not going away, and will eventually stop or greatly reduce its response.
I hope this review helps some people to realize that taking megadoses of niacin should be taken with an informed consent, and the green light from your doctor.
