a DISCUSSION about niacin

Now, I know there is a sticky above, and I have read it. I have also read several linked articles/posts about it as well.

Here is what I have to say. IF niacin is thermogenic (you get flushed/red/.itchy) and it dilates your capillaries (which run through your fat tissue) THEN, as A PART of a longer-term detox to pass a test, I believe it would be a viable addition to exercise, abstinence, and time.

I DO NOT think that 1250mg of niacin 3 hours before your test, when you smoked two bongs of dank and a blunt the night before (not to mention the days before that), is going to make you pass, and that is NOT what I am trying to say here.

What I am saying is that I believe that I have read the science that is between the lines in all the information that I have read, and as far as I can tell, it will, (again) as a part of a longer-term detox, be useful.

Thoughts? Any of the heavy hitters (science-types) want to weight in here. I think, if I am correct, this would be a useful piece of information.

<edit> And for all you kiddies out there, be careful with mega doses of stuff, don't be stupid :thumbsup:

My feeling is its just too risky. Been enough evidence of possible liver damage that its not worth the risk. Its also prescribed for chloresterol but is rarely used because most people can't tolerate the side effects. Just like one person posted taking chlorine pills. Might help masking but at what cost?

I can agree with you that there is info about side effects, but I believe that is with the higher dosages. I think even just using the recommended dosage daily- if you have, say, a month to detox- it would be helpful.

I do not encourage high dosages of ANYTHING that can be harmful, or chlorine pills (?) that just sounds stupid.

Glad to hear from you on this one 420 :)
