Bummer! I have some no-flush niacin in my possession right now. Will it do anything at all for me or should I just throw it away? (Obviously I won't be buying more in either case!)
hi id say before you throw it away,, go to iherb.com and read the amazing reviews of flushfree niacain on there.. it seems they all cant be lying..theres people on there who claim to have lowered their cholestral levels significantly for years taking the NOW brand flushfree niacin, im taking it myself but its too soon to know results yet, but i think this article may just be a sales scheme to sell his brand!! read up and see.. good luck
No flush niacin does work. Today is May 2. On April 8 my triglycerides were 341. Today they are 115. I added no-flush niacin and polycosanate to my diet and stopped eating baked goods and fried food. I ate a lot of oatmeal and oat bran, did water aerobics and did short walks twice a day. Are you saying the no-flush niacin contributed nothing? My Total cholesterol went from 243 to 188, LDL from 137 to 129. My HDL however, went from 38 to 37 - is this because I'm taking the wrong kind of niacin? I understand that niacinamide decreases vessel lining inflammation, but doesn't help in decreasing LDL. Is the Sloniacin actually niacinamide?
How can whole grains be detrimental? Or does that apply only to wheat.
My no flush niacin does work and my cardiologist agrees. My total cholesterol dropped from over 200 to 127. LDL went from 100 to 50 . Triglycerides went from 250 to 150. I take 1500 mg. of the capsules every morning then chase it with a lot of water. It works. Even my nuclear test showed a reversal of plaque build up. I do not agree with the doc. on this web page.
The problem with most patients is they do not adhere to the program.
>Yes, it does. And, indeed, it is too good to be true.
and I suppose if it didn't work that's why niacin is now conveniently appearing by RX, courtesy of Abbott Laboratories under the name of Niaspan... oh but yes, if it's FDA approved it's better and the alliance can get their cut on it, right? please... not every consumer is blind... the benefits of niacin are not news... anyone ever hear of 2-time nobel prize winner Linus Pauling and Abram Hoffer?
My doctor gave me the same advice about no-flush Niacin but refuses to prescribe Niacin at all. Sadly.
PS to website manager - this website has so much wonderful information I would like to read it regularly but the download time takes too much time. It is the very slowest website I have encountered recently. Can you do something to improve?
