    Niacin holy crap!

    Ok so this morning I woke up and decided to take my vitamins. I havn't done so in a long time! I took Folic acid, Fish oil, and Niacin. Well I forgot what Niacin felt like when it started to take affect and... My skin now feels like its on fire and I'm beat red and everyone in this library is staring at me. >.< Don't take niacin unless you expect to feel like your on fire. Just a warning!

    The recommended daily allowance of niacin is 2-12 mg a day for children, 14 mg a day for women, 16 mg a day for men, and 18 mg a day for pregnant or breast-feeding women.[4] Over 20 mg per day may produce hot flushes lasting 15-30 minutes in duration, along with a strange itching sensation and a reddening of the skin. In some cases it may cause a headache or even nausea. This is completely normal if a large dose of niacin hasn't been taken before and is caused by the cells of the body releasing histamine, which results in vasodilation. Once the body becomes used to the larger dose (usually over a period of days), these side effects will lessen or cease. Taking aspirin half an hour before the niacin will generally lessen the side effects.

    Holy shit, 2 threads about complete nonsense in such a short time. You really should take the rest of the day off and rest, you are far too annoying to keep it up today.

    At least you're covered on your Niacin intake for the next ~60 days.

    Doesn't Naicin also clear your system of common drugs from the inside? >.>;
    I know a couple of my friends do that if they ahve a drug test in a couple days and they aren't clean.

    haha I used to laugh so much at people that would take niacin because it supposedly "cleaned out" your system for drug tests, and they'd just look and feel like complete shit for a week lol
