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:

performed:

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.
