Niacin

[Gary1310]

Thought I read a recommendation for Niacin here....now I can’t find it. I went out and bought some. Anyone have info regarding Niacin and PMR?

If you type niacin in the box at the top right of your screen near the magnifying glass you will bring up any previous posts relating to it. YBB

I thought niacin was vitamin B3, you often have it as a supplement in foods such as cornflakes I think.

It is vitamin B3 from what I have read. Not sure how you take it though. xx

The Niacin I bought, is a capsule. I took one today. Not sure where read about it.

Niacin is a form of Vitamin B. Follow advice of Yellowbluebell; I didn't know of any particular recommendation for PMR; it is in most multivits. By itself, it can cause facial hot flushing, but there is a non-flushing type available. Are you perhaps meaning nicatinamide? (sp?)

Don't think I remember niacin being mentioned. B12 has been. Not sure how it would help PMR/GCA - and a good diet is far better than pills...
