Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 In reading about Niacin I found three forms talked about and I was wondering why this particular form is recommended for use in the Iodine Protocol. Why do we need to use the Inositol Hexanicotinate form of Niacin rather than niacinamide or regular Niacin? Does it do something differently, better or what exactly?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Inositol Hexanicotinate is said t be the " flush free " type. The forms of niacin is little understood with doctors disagreeing, much less everyone else lol. However, telling someone to take 500mg of regular niacin without explaining the reactions would be rather irresponsible as people panic when first taking it at the reaction, flushing, itchyness etc. I have found no place so far explaining its role in iodine protocol, which is strange.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Morning Bruce:) Oh heck, I've been up all night reading again:) And I read some articles on Niacin, Selenium, Glutathione, and other things. One of the articles said this type of Niacin doesn't lower blood cholesterol, and even though it's niacin it doesn't work quite the same as regular ol' Niacin. At least that's what I think it was saying. The article did not go into detail as to what exactly it does do. And I'm too tired to look for anything more right now, it wouldn't make any sense if I found it:) After I get some sleep I'll see if I can hunt down something else on the differences. I was just hoping someone else knew since it's a recommended nutrient in the Protocol. Bethann Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 True, regular niacn is best for chloresterol. But it raises homocysteine so needs the b vit to help that. And one has to go slow for the side effects, including some histamine reactions. Interestingly, niacin and iodine have been used together for artery issues. Am looking more into that as time allows.
