Link to a post by Chris Masterjohn PhD on risks of high dose NAD+ boosters for heart and cardiovascular health. // And my tessellation Christmas cactus went 3D.
JD - Glad to hear your doing better. Good work on cutting back the Niacin, and perhaps "saving" a rusty back fern. Re: niacin - 3000mg is overdosing - 500mg may still be too much. Niacin side effects can include: swelling of face, throat, tongue, lips, eyes, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs. ; an increase in risk of muscle breakdown; and may cause your liver function lab test results to be abnormally high. If you need more than 250mg daily for inflammation, you might consider other remedies.
After 30 days has passed on the ceterach you could cut back to one cup a day. Then fill the other tea time slot with some Urtica dioica (stinging nettle) tea which will complement the rusty fern and I am sure you are well aware of; high chlorogenic acid content; work the kidneys, reduce uric acid. The bonus with urtica is the high Vitamin K content, anti flammatory inhibition of Nf-Kb, Cox1 & 2, and congestion reduction.
Thanks NN, That all sounds good - will need to take some time. I have been wavering on the niacin dose. Went totally without one day which might have led to more of flush the next use. I have used stnging nettle capsules but will get some tea also.
It is a shame that they can not report truthfully - world of difference between Niacin and the other forms of B3 - Love my Niacin 500mg every 2-3 days with a B50 to give it something to work with.
