Who loves the NIACIN FLUSH?

[ceo]

I like the flush free niacin myself

get your liver panels done if you're taking this in the dietary supplement form (non prescription). Most of the non script stuff (supps) are hepatoxic at the recommended 1.5 - 2 gram level.

I love the feeling as well

Damn straight! According to my Cardiologist the FLUSH is necessary to open all the tiny blood vessells. It's also one of the ONLY supps that Raises HDL.
I take 2000mg/ED.

By the way, Does anyone know where you can get higher dosed Niacin tablets that are NOT flush free?

I buy my Niacin in 500mg capsules from bodybuilding.com

This is the flushing type, and personally I love the flush, the red hot intensity that I get, and the profuse sweating. IMHO, I believe it really helps me to get "in the zone".

i use the flush free at 1g ed. i have wanted to try the flush to see if there was a big difference. i get pretty pumped off the flush free stuff.

I never recommend anyone use regular niacin because of its hepatotoxicity. This would be especially true if you are on oral steroids or any steroids metabolized by your liver. There have been numerous cases of fulminant hepatotoxicity resulting in transplant or death associated with niacin use.

Are you taking an aspirin 30 minutes before niacin? That usually prevents the flushing. Start with 325 mg and work your way down. Most people find that 81 mg is all that is needed to prevent flushing. Of course if you have GI problems (ulcers, GERD, etc.), then ask your physician before taking aspirin.

I heard long-term high-dose Niacin was potentially harmful.

I used to take niacin because it allows THC to clear the system quickly.


I don't know about when drugs aren't in your system, but when they are it's more of an intolerable burn and the "pins and needles" feeling accompanied with red skin and sweating.


Definitely works for passing a drug screen, though.

Niacin for drug tests is a myth. As is Goldenseal.

Lots of water, B Vitamins (to keep your piss yellow), Creatine (so your creatinine levels are in normal range). Maybe some fish oil or olive oil on an empty stomach shortly before the drug test.

THC has a range they test for. I'm not sure the testing for other drugs is the same.
It may be more of a yes/no thing. Anyone know for sure?

HAHA..funny this thred is up now..
I just took 500 mgs of this stuff like 10 mins ago..and its the flush. When i was in FL i took like 1500 mgs in one shot, with milk thistle. I got really sick. Like within 15 min i blew chunks and me an my roomate were watching this movie. So it was dark in the room. I run to the bathroom, and i turn on the light. Looked in the mior and my face was soo puffy!!! Like no joke..hahahah my girl was freakin out..so was i..i mean i thought it was funny but worried.
End up called 911 and got a ride to the hospital, i thought my throat might close up. But all in all i was fine. They gave me benadrile thru and IV to calm the reaction, and i basiclly spent 1000 dollers for nothing for the EMS.
But it does work for clensing for THC. I used to play soccer in college for D1 and D3 schools. All the athletes do it, and it does work. Or there would be alotta athletes F*** and not playing. Just watch out for really high doses.
