B3 overload?

Posted by Glydin on January 8, 2005, at 17:52:30

Is it possible?

I would like to TRY niacinamide and no flush niacin together. 500 mgs of both daily.

I was always under the impression it was very difficult to take too much of water soluable vits like the B's, but I have read sources citing peripheral nerve damage matters as a problem.

Any insights appreciated.

The threshold for nerve damage is very likely to be above 4000 mg/day total B3. If you are one of the unlucky people sensitive to B3 at these doses (very rare, but not unheard of), then simply stopping the supplement will lead to a complete recovery.
