Re:Niacin - D-Ribose forgiven

Hi Rose

From what I have read about niacinamide Dr Myhill is right. If I inderstand

correctly Niacinamide is slightly different from Niacin. I read about it

yesterday searching the net:)

D-Ribose side effects

Hi All

I am currently trying a supplement regime by Dr Myhill see

http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/article.cfm?id=373

Over the last three days I have noticed that after taking 5grams of

D-Ribose powder and carrying out some activity i.e short walk to shops

that I get prickly heat all over my body and scalp and my face turns

bright read as does my chest arms and legs.

Has anybody else experienced this?

Does any know why this might happen?

Thanks

Hi Rosie,

Did Dr M give a reason for the preference for Niacinamide? As I

understand it, it doesn't cause the flushing as Niacin does, but

(and I may have got the wrong end of the stick...) it doesn't open

up the small blood vessels in the way Niacin does, which I thought

was the reason for taking it - to enable the body to heal because

parts of the body that may be suffering from reduced blood supply

would get better " service " of blood.
