Vitamin B-3, Niacin (Niatab)Niacin has been extensively featured in the media. As with all B vitamins, it is commonly deficient. Foods high in niacin are peanuts, yeast, organ meats, tuna, halibut, swordfish, chicken, turkey, wheat bran, soy flour, brown rice, eggs, & beans. A small amount of niacin can be produced in your body from dietary tryptophan. Niacin is often deficient in the elderly.* Niacin's major functions are:
SYMPTOMS OF DEFICIENCY:
Niacin commonly causes a flush of the skin characterized by a prickly hot sensation & possibly itching. This is more apt to occur when it is taken with an inadequate amount of food & is therefore absorbed more quickly than it is with a larger meal. Onset of the flush is within 20 minutes-1 hour & it usually lasts 20 minutes-1 1/2 hours. Some people like the feeling, others don't. Sometimes it lessens with continued use. If you don't like the skin flush, consider Niacinamide, or Niasitol or take 1/2 aspirin 30 minutes before taking Niacin.* Do not use any time release niacin preparations as they have very rarely been associated with severe liver damage. If you take more than 3,000 mg regular niacin for more than 4 months, have your liver enzymes checked at 4-6 month intervals.* For More information see: Niacin: What You Need to Know About This Vitamin for Increasing Good Cholesterol & Fighting Heart Disease

It can also cause nausea and diarrhea.* DIRECTIONS: Standard dose is 1-3 daily with meals. -May use higher amounts for special conditions as indicated. Other Ingredients: Niacin USP, vegetable stearine, cellulose, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate
