FDA Statement of Identity: A Dietary Supplement
Precautions: All Other: Cautions and Interactions The Institute of Medicine of the NIH has established the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for all forms of Niacin for adults as 35 mg/day based on flushing as the critical adverse effect. The form of niacin in this product however, is unlikely to cause a flushing response. High dose Niacin has been associated with liver inflammation. Although some reports suggest that is occurs most commonly with slow-release Niacin, it can occur with any type of Niacin when taken at a daily dose of more than 500 mg (usually 3 g or more). Regular blood tests to evaluate liver function are therefore mandatory when using high-dose Niacin (or Niacinamide or Inositol Hexanicotinate). The antituberculosis drug Isoniazid (INH) may may increase the need for Niacin. If you have liver disease, ulcers (presently or in the past), gout, gallbladder disease, or drink too much alcohol, do not take high-dose Niacin except on medical advice.
Formula: Contains: This product contains an Ageless(R) anti-oxygen packet to enhance protection during storage.
Precautions: Pregnant or Nursing or Prescription Medications: Combining high-dose Niacin with statin drugs (the most effective medication for high cholesterol) may affect cholesterol profile by raising HDL cholesterol. However, this combination therapy could contribute to the potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis, and should be attempted only under the supervision of a physician. Niacin may interfere with the absorption of Tetracycline, and therefore the two should be taken at different times of the day.
Precautions: All Other: Caution: Not to be used by pregnant/lactating women or those with liver problems, stomach ulcers or diabetes unless recommended by your healthcare practitioner.
