Does my way of reducing cholesterol work.

I feel much better today so I think the vitamin C and Manuka honey worked. My wife found she had higher levels of bad cholesterol than normal so her GP gave her a diet sheet with the hope that she could bring down her cholesterol level naturally High cholesterol can lead to heart disease. However during the time up to her next test she has continued her same diet but added the supplement vitamin B3 (Niacin) 100mg per day. Sometimes this can give you facial flushing due to arteries being opened by the vitamin B3, however this has reduced as she has got used to taking the vitamin. So now that she has had the blood test it will be interesting to see the results as she has continued the same diet. If her high blood cholesterol has reduced then it should prove that vitamin B3 has naturally reduced the cholesterol.

Taking the vitamin B3, as I do, would be safer than having to take medication as there are lots of side effects. I will keep you up to date with what happens. Results are expected next wednesday.

The effects of Niacin on blood cholesterol

I had taken a cholesterol test and was requested by my doctor to see him as it was a little high at 6.5. This would need to be reduced by correct diet, however I wanted to use other natural ways of reducing my bad cholesterol, and naturally being concerned about my health I researched further into natural therapy.

I found that Niacin (Vitamin B3) taken in larger doses would bring down bad cholesterol and bring up good cholesterol. I found Niacin 100mg was available at my local health food shop, this was 556x the recommended daily dose, but would seem to be safe to take one tablet per day.

My research found that 1-2 grams per day was necessary to reduce bad cholesterol, but I was worried about taking this large amount even though there seemed to be no side effects in taking large doses of Niacin.

I decided to double my dose increasing to 200mg per day. I found, at first that I started to flush about half an hour after taking the second tablet, a burning feeling around my neck and face, however this seemed to be a natural reaction to the Niacin. I continued taking the double dose of Niacin for about three months, and then took another cholesterol test. To my amazement my reading was now down to 5.3, which was much more acceptable. I had not followed any particular diet although perhaps I had tried to avoid fatty food.

So looking at the whole picture it would seem that even lower doses of Niacin, ie 200mg per day may play a part in lowering bad cholesterol.

Why is my blood pressure so high?

My blood pressure has been very high since my doctor changed my medication to Ramipril 5mg, the last reading at my GP was 165/102. I am trying to reduce using natural remedies such as Niacin 100mg per day (vitamin B3), and Garlic supplements 1000mg per day. I don't think it helps that I am stressed out all the time.

I read that drinking water may help, as this would flush out some of the sodium from my body so I decided to give it a try. I took my own blood pressure reading and it was 160/99, still far too high. I then drank a glass of water, after ten minutes I took another reading which was 153/93, a little better. I then drank another glass of water. After ten more minutes I took another reading which was 145/89.

The water seems to be helping although it could be that I needed the fluid anyway. I would be interested to hear other comments from people that may have tried using water to reduce their blood pressure. Please follow me if you find this post interesting. Thank you.

NIACIN AND NIACINAMIDE (VITAMIN B3)


Vitamin B3 is made up of niacin (nicotinic acid) and its amide, niacinamide, and can be found in many foods, including yeast, meat, fish, milk, eggs, green vegetables, and cereal grains. Dietary tryptophan is also converted to niacin in the body. Vitamin B3 is often found in combination with other B vitamins including thiamine, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, and folic acid.

Orally, niacin can be used to help reduce high levels of bad cholesterol, protect against stomach ulcers, and also help for hyperlipidemia. It is also used in conjunction with other therapies for peripheral vascular disease, vascular spasm, migraine headache, Meniere's syndrome, vertigo, and to reduce the diarrhea associated with cholera. Orally, niacin or niacinamide is also used for preventing vitamin B3 deficiency, treating pellagra, schizophrenia, drug-induced hallucinations, Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline, chronic brain syndrome, hyperkinesis, depression, motion sickness, alcohol dependence.

Please be aware that high levels of Niacin,and Niacinamide can course skin flushing at first, this should soon stop.
