I tried just 100mg on niacin once.. back in about 2003/4? I think.. and I had an extreme facial flush..so I stayed off it. I had heard about the time release not being good. That's also a probem with most supps and hormones too.. for some reason the pharma/supp industry doesnt seem to care about the timing during the day at all.
I know why too..simplicity and the assumption consumers are either too daft or couldnt be bothered or would tend to forget/get lost following any on-off/varying timed routine.. especially varying within a cycle too(as in females).. and they do have a point.. But
if it dont work or can be harmful when you dont try.. and you need it? Sorry rave off :-)
They could at lest specify to only take once a day Etc. and with / or without food or away from food for 2 hrs..and best time of day for people following a "normal" daily rise in the morning cycle?I've just found the bottle of niacin again.. it expired this year, but it probably fine..so I took just 50mg yesterday and day before and NO facial flush. probably they aren't as potent as a few years ago, but I'll work up..as I do need to lower cholesterol, and I refuse to go on statins after I saw what it did to my Dad. Then again, he didnt take CoQ10 either..
Hi there & Merry Xmas Sigimund
