Introduction
One of the most essential nutrients for human health is without doubt niacin also known as Vitamin B3. For normal, healthy people, it is recommended to consume about 15-20 mg niacin per day. However, other people need a higher dose, because niacin has some health benefits if overdosed. Nonetheless, like with everything in life, too much is never good. Therefore, there are also some nasty side effects. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to explain why niacin sometimes should be overdoses, and what the cost of doing this is.
Niacin benefits
Increase dosage of niacin can help against cholesterol and to let your body get rid of toxic waste. This is possible, because an overdose of niacin will widen the blood vessels. Especially, the capillaries, the smaller blood vessel close to the skin and other surface areas, can benefit from this. Oxygen and other essential nutrients seldom reach these places, and because of this, it is easy for toxic waste to gather here. Consuming more than 50 mg Vitamin B3 (niacin), will indeed make it possible to let more blood flow through these so called capillaries, enabling your body to eliminate the waste.
Side effects
Nonetheless, there are some side effects of this overdose. These side effects can generally be categorized in ‘unease’. Most of them are temporarily: headaches, dizziness, and diarrhea. But if you take way too much niacin, it can lead to liver damage. Needless to say, this should be avoided at all costs. The most common side effect is the so called niacin flush. This entails that your skin reddens, due to the fact more blood runs through the capillaries, close to the skin. It can lead to a burning and tingling feeling around the chest.
Conclusion
Niacin flushing can be essential for eliminating toxic waste in your body and fighting cholesterol. However, be sure to not take too excessive amounts, because this can lead to permanent damage such as liver and kidney problems. All in all, the niacin benefits weight up too the side effects.
