myLot Discussions| vitamin b-3***** niacin, niacinamide, nicotinic acid | | I always think of the one characteristic of B-3 .That one is circulation.Proper circulation and healthy skin just seem to go hand in hand I think.A flush that is usually harmless,may occur after consuming it.If this happens a red rash my occur on the skin and a tingling sensation may be experienced.use this with caution if you are pregnant,suffering from gout,diabetes,peptic ulcers,liver disease,or glaucoma.Vitanin B-3 helps the functioning of the nervous system,in the metabolism of fats,carbohydrates and proteins,and in the production of hydrochloric acid for the digestive system .Niacin improves circulation,and lowers cholestrol.It is also important in and effective in the treatment of schizopherina and other mental illnesses.you will find it in: beef,broccoli,carrots,cheese,corn meal,fish,milk,eggs,pork,potatoes,tomatoes and whole wheat. | |

| | What to do for Niacin flashes? | | My wife turns so red when she takes Niacin that she quit taking it. The Dr. even checked her heart when she went it. The Niacin decided to take effect after she went in so she just kept getting redder and redder. The nurse said that taking a baby aspirin might help. Others say to take it with food. The only thing she has found to help is to stay still until she feels it flush subsiding. | |

Hello, I have a tip for the shaving of ladies legs, bikini line, etc. I use a simple Gillette for shaving, but instead of shaving foam or cream, I use "shower oil" from Nivea.
