Lipoflame

[claire]

I started taking Lipoflame a little over two weeks ago. This morning I decided to take it before cardio. I increase dosage form 3 capsules to 5. This was recommended before cardio. I took the capsules and went back to bed waiting for them to kick in. My face felt funny so I got up and looked in the mirror. My face swelled up and was red. My whole body turned red. Called the emergency room and they told me to take benadryl. Swelling went down right away. It was about 1 hour and 45 minutes before the red went away. I am fine now. My body looked like I had a sun burn.

I just wanted to add. I love amp02 so this is not meant to be a slam against Omega. I will continue to take amp02.

General rule of thumb - regardless of what is "recommended" (recommended for who? a 250 lb guy?) start low dose & work up to determine YOUR response & tolerance. That had to be a little scary - sounds like you just megadosed and had a response to something in the stuff - niacin or something ? vasodilator.

Good point. Dosage was recommended by Omega based on my weight. He said 3 twice a day and on days that I do cardio to take 5 before cardio. I had been taking 3 twice a day for about 1 1/2 weeks. Full dosage on bottle is 6.

I'm a 200 lb guy and i get an upset stomach on the 6 pre cardio..

the 3 am 3 pm works very well..

it's a flushed feeling that goes away after about a weeks use at the higher doses..

good stuff..

do you still take it at the lowered dose???

I am going to stop taking it. I assume I am allergic to something in it. I will continue to take amp 02.

Hi Claire,

Do NOT worry.

It seems that 1 out 100 people or so get the "Niacin Flush" from the Niacinamide ( vitamin b-3) in LIP0FLAME and Amplify02.

If you were taking 3 caps of LIPOFLAME with no problem then next time you take 4-5 caps have about 20 grams of Complex Carbohydrate with Lipoflame and extra water as that will most likely solve the issue

Again it is only the Vitamin B-3 ( Niacimaide) which helps with Blood flow, hence possible flushing feeling.

Could you check on that, Omega? Niacinamide was specifically created to avoid the Niacin Flush effect. Niacinamide should not cause blood vessels to open wider, not even in 1 out of 100.

 

[OMEGA]

for some Niacinamide will still cause the effect seemingly 1 out of 100 customers or so.


if we had NIACIN almost every customer would have an issue but that is obviously not the case

 

[blut wump]

Sorry, Omega, but that contradicts everything I've read on nicotinamide. I'd appreciate if you could post some reference while I go back to the journals.

 

[OMEGA]

no need to apologize
even with the "No flush version" flush can occur

the thread above shows how the issue is resolved if someone has an issue and even then its not an issue
because it is SOO easily solved with some extra water and the lightest amount of Carbohydrate
