About Niacin

Niacin (Vitamin B3) is a nutrient that all humans need to survive. It is necessary for DNA repair. Prolonged deficiency can cause a disease called Pellagra, whose symptoms include sensitivity to sunlight, aggression, insomnia, mental confusion, diarrhea, and red skin sores. Eventually it will lead to dementia.

The recommended daily allowance of niacin is 2-12 mg per day for children, 14 mg per day for women, and 16 mg per day for men. Pregnant or breast-feeding women need 18 mg per day. Urine tests are used to test a body's niacine levels.

Can Niacin help flush out drugs to help pass a drug test?

According to the Mayo Clinic, no proof exists that Niacin will help flush out chemicals that have entered the body from marijuana use. Rumors that it can do so have led some to take too much Niacin, which can have harmful effects.

Symptoms of Niacin overdose:

Increased heart rate
Itching
Stomach pain
Vomiting and nausea
Damage to the liver
Diarrhea

Good sources of Niacin in the diet

Protein-rich foods such as red meat, poultry, fish and nuts are good sources of niacin. Such foods as eggs, milk, cheese and yoghurt contain tryptophan, which the body uses to make niacin.
