Wow, thank you Steve:)
Now I need to pin down the Inositol form. It is
specifically recommended at 500 mg a day with the
Iodine Protocol. And I really need to know what it
does and the reason for taking it specifically
before I do that. It's supposed to work with the
Iodine in some way, and there are other nutrients
too, but no one so far can tell me why that
specific form of the Niacin. I know Iodine detoxes
heavy metals and the bromides like crazy because I
can Herx badly if I take too much too fast.
I know there are three types of what's being sold
on the market as Niacin. There's the regular
Niacin, Nicotinamide, and the Inositol Hex stuff.
But there's also a time released Niacin now too.
The reading I've done suggests that regular Niacin
is the best for cholesterol lowering effects, and
most of the studies done with the three types for
cholesterol lowering effects seem to back that up
so far.
And yeah, if you take slow release Niacin up to
2500 mg would be needed. It seems that the
flushing of regular Niacin is part of the
mechanism that helps lower cholesterol.
Personally I use 1500 mg of garlic, and lecithin
two or three time per week. Guggul is good for
lowering cholesterol too.
Extremely high doses of Niacin, no matter what
form it's in, can be toxic to the liver, although
if you take liver protective herbs that may not be
the case. I'd darned sure take milk thistle at
least if I was consuming that much Niacin.

Annie,
Here are what I consider good reasons. They are for the no-flush version
of B-3.
Vitamin B3 acts on the tau protein.
The Vitamin B3 study was performed on rats. UC Irvine is currently
seeking volunteers for a human clinical trial. Here is a link to an
abstract of the Vitamin B3 study:

High dose vitamin B3 has also been found beneficial in some cases of
diabetes and schizophrenia:

Yeaho Steve, that's one of the first articles I
read, and I continued digging. No one seems to be
able to pin down exactly what the Inositol type is
good for. So why is it marketed as Niacin? And
why would that specific one be recommended over
another form. That's what Im trying to find out.
There must be a reason for it. But I can't find
anything to give me a clear reason to use it
instead of regular ol' Niacin.
