Health Benefits And Niacin

Niacin can bring about amazing results for those who are battling high cholesterol troubles. It has also been noted that Niacin may be able to reverse the progression of atherosclerosis. Smokers can benefit from taking 2 grams of Niacin per day. B₃ comes in three forms:

1. Nicotinic Acid
2. Nicotinate
3. Nicotinamide

The body can produce its own Niacin from protein in more detail the amino acid tryptophan; our bodies can process foods such as organ meats, eggs, fish, liver, and peanuts and transform these foods into B₃. The B vitamins are an essential support to the nervous system. B₁₂ has been known to help patients who suffer with depression.

I first became fascinated with the B vitamins while attending a wellness group at Illinois Masonic Hospital. It was a support group for women who had experienced a major health crisis. There was one woman attending because of suffering with Bipolar, and I learned from her how she faithfully takes all her Be everyday. I was attending the group as a survival from a ruptured brain aneurysm.

Beyond the positive effects of B complex vitamins on mood, or emotional stability, there are other areas of usefulness where B₃is concerned according to some dieticians patients with type I diabetes can benefit from taking B₃. By taking the supplement early into the beginning stages of type I to stop the progression of diabetes. Medical research studies state that Niacin stimulates insulin secretion.

The nutrients in niacin enlarges the blood vessels and removes lipids from arterial walls.

People who suffer from trouble sleeping can benefit with niacin, it has sleep-inducing abilities. I visited our local health food store in town, and spoke with the herbalist, nutritionist about the B-complex vitamins. It was an interesting visit, the nutritionist told me about boasting.

For me it was a new term I had never heard of boasting. Forgive me for being a novice in regard to this term.

Boosting is simple, you take the B complex vitamin which already includes all the Bs, and then you take another single dose of B (for B₂) on top of the B complex which boost the effect of the particular single dose you took.

From the information I gathered some people will boost Niacin for texample he benefit in lowering the bad LDL in their blood. A word of caution: boosting alone may not give you total results unless diet habits are changed. Please consult your doctor before taking any supplements.

Boosting Niacin has helped prevent migraine headaches, but it must be taken at the first sign of a migraine coming on.
