After having more time supplementing Niacin I think a slow and easy approach is warranted. I have made some adjustments in what I am advising my family on how to dose Niacin. These are the instructions I give them:
Nicotinic Acid Flush Niacin Only. No other forms.
-Start out at 25mg a day after a meal that has plenty of protein, carbs, and fiber.
-Stay at that dose for 7 days and monitor how you are feeling. If feeling good, no uncomfortable detox, then add another dose of 25mg for a total of 50mg a day.
-After another 7 days, reassess and if not uncomfortable, add a third dose of 25mg for a total of 75mg a day.
-After another 7 days, reassess again, if not uncomfortable bring one of the daily doses up to 50mg and so on and so on.....
-If three doses is inconvenient you can do it in two doses, or even one dose if needed.
-Doses over 200mg should be buffered
-Do not take on empty stomach
-Charcoal can be used with Niacin to help soak up increased bile
-The Niacin Flush is harmless and usually diminishes with regular use. If flush becomes too much, Aspirin can stop it, but really, the flush is no big deal even though it can feel like it at times.
-It is important that you are living the low toxin lifestyle. If you are not living the low toxin lifestyle do not go over 50mg a day.
-Until we start getting more feedback let's keep the maximum daily dose under 500mg and it must be split up. If you feel you must go higher, personally I would not go above 1000mg. Some groups max out at 3000mg but again, slow and easy wins this race.
-Do not think you need big doses, amazing things happen even on small doses. More is not always better especially if you are very toxic.
-You must be working on fixing your Big 5 Mineral Deficiencies. Potassium, Magnesium, Selenium, Molybdenum, Zinc
-You need to be aware of what detox symptoms are so you know when to raise, or not to raise, or when to lower the amount.
-If detox gets too much, lower the amount by half for at least 3 days, if still too much, cut in half again and repeat process until you find relief.
-Never stop Niacin abruptly, do the step down method explained above.
-Niacin increases your life force, so as it increases it will start pushing out the toxins. And the effects of the life force increase is cumulative, so the longer you take the Niacin the more life force increases. So it is important to take this process slow. No need to rush at all. Even a small dose of 25mg is doing incredible things.
