NIcotinic ACid vitamIN B3(Niacin)

[mrdevious]

It's a vitamin, so you can't really "overdose" on it.. but you can make yourself feel pretty uncomfortable if you abuse it

This isn't really a correct view bob. Vitamin overdose deaths are rare, but do happen usually because somebody decides to megadose on one particular vitamin in hopes of miraculous effects. Vitamins varry in toxicity levels, from Vitamin C which is pratically as non-toxic as THC, and Vitamin A which has actually killed people from "vitamin A poisoning" just from eating an all-meat diet (albeit the story I read was from a guy eating nothing but seals and sled-dogs for survival).

I totally agree, to much of one thing can be very bad for you. The only reason I stated that you can't really overdose on Niacin is because you would have to take more than any recommended amount and intentionally try to harm yourself. However, even if this were so.. by the time you took to much Niacin for your body to handle, you would have felt very uncomfortable. Just be smart! It's not like Asprin, you can't die from taking to many. Taking to many though, can and probably would have some adverse side effects.

So which Niacin are you suppossed to buy for flushing it out quicker? Another question real quick even though it isn't the topic: what's better...cranberry juice or pills?

Niacin works, but not as an entire course-of-action, but as a supplementary to the work you are already doing. You should also try to stay clean for an extended-period prior to drug testing. I was actually going to write a detoxification guide, but I never quite got around to it, or really found enough time. But here is a good website with a lot of information about Niacin and its role in bodily detoxification.

fat soluble vitamins - A, D, E, and K - are easier to overdose on. water soluble vitamins are flushed out by the kidneys and are relatively harder to get to toxic levels.

Here's my story. I am currently taking Niacin to pass a drug test for Comcast cable. I have an interview next week and I have quit smoking since June 9th which would make today day 6 of smoke free. I got the 100mg regular Niacin (nicotinic acid) type. I weigh 165lbs and am 6'5". I am very slim and if I had to guess my body fat is <5%. Based on what I have read here I have been going to the gym daily, hitting the stationary bicycle for 1/2 hour with no fans on me in order to induce maximum perspiration, followed immediately with 20 minutes in the sauna. I have also been drinking approximately 4x the recommended amount of water daily if not more. (in other words approx 75 fluid ounces of water based on my weight).

I have been taking the niacin tablets since yesterday and started with 900mg over the course of the day. Each time I took a dose it was in increments of 300mg. and right after a meal. The recommended dosage is 100mg per day. On the second day (today) I have taken 400mg total in increments of 200mg. I get hot flashes primarily in my arms and back of my neck and also intense burning in my face no mater what the dosage. The good news is it only lasts approximately 10-15 minutes and takes about a full hour to kick in. My interview (and possible drug test) is next Wednesday (June 20th) and I plan to reduce dosages each day until I get to 100mg per day and I will quit a few days before the interview. My only reason for cutting back so much is because my body fat index is really low and it is not worth sacrificing my health and well being for a job, no matter what job it is. Keep this in mind people don't fuck yourself up over some job - if you're that concerned just quit for an entire month to be safe. I will keep you updated as to what happens but I feel I should have no problem passing.
