Niacin & magnesium stearate

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

I've been at this for over 20 years without drugs. Three days ago I added 500

mg of Niacin and 500mg mag.stearate. That is in addition to my normal

B-complex and Benfiothaimine ( B-1).

Very definite improvement in muscle control and leg strength. Especially during

the time that the Niacin gives that flush .

Will keep you posted.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Betty,

I made a mistake. It is not " Stearate " it is phosphorus.

The difference between niacin and niacinamide is that the latter is supposed to

eliminate the flush.

Tom

magnesium you are taking? From what I read, it is a fatty acid made

from animal or vegetable fat and used for various heavy metal

compounds or in the pharmaceutical industry to make capsules and many

other things. Does the body absorb it better in this form?

The new study results which I'm sure you have read about MS and B3

state nicotinamide is the form of niacin used and results obtained

with 3-6 grams. How does niacin differ from nicotinamide? I'm

intrigued by the possibility of the niacin as another vitamin to try

for MS, but would like to see some discussion on the milligrams/grams

tried by those here. What about slow release niacin in the 1,000 mg

range? Anyone tried this? Most vitamins work in synergy with others,

does anyone know the effects of taking too much niacin and/or what

other vitamins should one take with it.

Thank you all for any input.....Betty

Hi Tom. Niacinamide is also a precurser for niacin. There are studies being done

with niacinamide and the effects it has on MS. I took a liquid B-12, B-complex

yesterday, no flush. I took it again this morning and my face and neck were on

fire! I guess that means I'm saturated with B's. It didn't last long and felt

sort-of interesting. My ears were red!

I too started niacin. Just this morning at 7:30 am. Not from reading this but

from the vit b3

report on web md. I used a niacin that I bought at trader joe's, sustained

release 500 mg

formula. Got the niacin flush. My face felt like it was beating like a heart.

Then I got up to

check my color in a mirror. I walk to the bathroom with out using the wall to

stabilize myself.

I felt great! Then it wore off, but overall I still feel better the rest of the

day. I can't

wait till tomorrow morning! I know I shouldn't have too high of hopes, but I

felt good.

When I get the " Flush " is when I notice the most significant improvement...lasts

about 3 hours.

Hi Tom. I had the same amazing results. Mine didn't last long either. I think

I'll take niacin by itself several times a day, the B-complex just once. I read

Saul's report that niacin flush is the saturation point and the body

should remain saturated. Did you take niacin throughout the day?

Hi ,

If you take your Niacin in the inositol hexaniacinate form it is safer and

does not cause skin flushing and is less likely to cause liver damage.

You know I do not buy or sell vitamins, I've studied Vitamins now for 30

years, so hope this information is of some help.

No, I have not taken it throughout the day but am definitely looking into that.

Hi ,

B complex is very good for healthy people, with MS you will find they don't

have enough of the mg's we need, I take B complex plus B12 plus B6 and B1.

You can find many books on alternatives for MS. The BBD has a good list of

vitamins we need and how much we need and why. Thank you for the link, very

interesting but again for the fit.

.

Thanks . I didn't get flushed today when I took the B-12/B complex. I

took it with food and only once today. I didn't have the same super-powers

either. I found an article that talks about inisitol hexaniacinate that was

interesting. http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/fulltext/inositol1-3.html

I had never heard of it before.
