Hi Tel,
(6000mg niacin WOW-)Do you take this amount of niacin every day or do
you take a break from it for awhile occasionally? I take just 250mg
every day except Sundays which I take a day off from all supplements.
The reason I ask is that someone told me that much niacin is hard on the
liver(250mg that is ). I also take about a tsp. of 180,000 HU cayenne
pepper with food once a day but I still have cold hands and feet.

I have the same experience,
I use niacin 6,000 mg per day and 6,000 mg of Cayenne pepper 90,000
HU (heating units) each.
Also I use 1,000 mg of Ginkgo Bilobo per day all the dose are split
in 1/2 am and pm . I would suggest working up to this amount,
and the no flush niacin is less irritating, but I take the normal
flush kind and like it...It works for me. I am in my 8th year doing
this ,
with great results.

I have been pained with the problem for 20 some years. There
doesn't seem to be a safe way of eliminating the problem. A lot of
years ago I took a medicine that was supposed to help. It merely
made my pulse and BP rise. I didn't feel any relief from the cold.
I just buy and wear better gloves and good socks. I just try to
stay warm...............I live in central Illinois. :-)
I'm going on to 72 years young in March. I guess I've proved one
can live with the problem.
There seems to be Raynaud's phenomenon and Raynaud's syndrom.
Either, if the Insurance Companys get wind of it........one can be
slighted for getting insurance.
But being on Medicare............I don't care in my case.
