So if I take niacin before going to bed at 1 am & wake up at 5 am, will it protect me from symptoms caused by NE (In my case, NE's generally occur 2-3 hours after falling asleep)?
Hi Raj
Niacin has been discussed quite a bit in the past. It's easy to search old posts
It's quiet handy to use this trick for searching via NSF (Naked Science Forum) as example:
paste the following line in google:
niacin pois site:http://thenakedscientists.com
for searching in poiscenter there is a search option
also have a look at one of my old posts in NSF somewhere along this page for some tips about niacin
http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=6576.msg460515#msg460515I personally have never tried using it to try combat NE's though
Remember to rather not overuse niacin as I think your body eventually gets so used to it that you suddenly no longer get the flash making it less effective
Note: Some believe overusing niacin could also be harmful
Also let your doctor know that you want to experiment using niacin,
altough I think niacin is fairly safe
