Niacin (vit. B3) confusion

[Guest guest]

Hey Bee,

I am a little confused about the dosing directions on your website for Niacin.

How much should I take? On the website it says to take 50mg to 400 mg a day-

What is the correct dosage? What I understand from your website is that

everytime I take 50 mg of niacin I should take B complex 50 to balance it out

with the rest of the B vitamins right? So, if I want to take 200 mg of niacin I

should take 4 capsules of B complex 50?

Also, on the the Natural factors Niacin label it says " warning: if history of

ulcers consult doctor before taking niacin. " What does this mean? I was

diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis and because of H. Pylori I thing I have an

ulcer in my stomach or in my small intestine. So, can I still take niacin or it

will cause me some problems? Thanks.

Hi . As long as you keep niacin at or below 400 mg a day there is no

need to take higher amounts of the b-complex. The recommended amount of niacin

is 100 mg a day however. About the warning, I'll let Bee and the moderators

advise you on this.

@@ Hi ,

You take Vit B complex 50 mg in morning and another in the evening.

Niacin-50 mg. - morning only.

You should be taking niacin twice a day; in order to get less of a intense

flush, take 25 mg in the morning and 25 mg in the evening, by cutting the

tablet. Increase it to 50 mg am and pm when you get no flush after 5 days.

Niacin promotes a healthy appetite and aids digestion by increasing the product

of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. H. pylori reduces stomach acid, thus to

correct this you need to raise stomach acid.

Niacin helps address low stomach acid in conjunction with other supplements, HCL

and the recommended foods on this diet. So, Yes, Niacin is safe to use and will

not cause problems.

, lastly, you may find the article link, below informative & encouraging

in regards to addressing H.Pylori & Ulcerative Colitis.

Thanks Ed,

Yeah I took 50 mg of niacin and I thought I was going to get a flush, but got

NOTHING. So, I have to wait 5 days to see if I get a flush, right? Thanks.

Hello ,

I just wanted to add, you don't *need* to consume up to 400mg of niacin per day.

Your healing will not be speeded up by increasing the niacin above the 50mg per

day recommended dose. Plus it's more expensive to take more niacin, so why

bother?

It is not advisable to take 400 mg or more since your dosages of other

supplements will also have to change at that point.

I just got tired of cutting the tablet, so I take 50mg twice a day, for a total

of 100mg.

If you don't get it within a couple hours after taking it, you're probably

not going to get a flush that day. Some people have quite a niacin

deficiency and it seems if this is the case that you aren't going to get the

flush till the deficiency is filled. So maybe after taking it for 5 days you

will get a flush shortly after taking it.

@@ Hey ,

Correct. Wait 5 days to see if you get a flush before considering raising it.

However, even if you do not get a flush, rest assured, it still is effective and

working, doing its job.

Best in Health,

Ed

[Guest guest]

Oops! Sorry . :-) Like Ed and andra said, it is 50mg of niacin per

day.
