The Niacin flush to clear out toxins, clean arteries and lower cholesterol
Sounds too good to be true? Let's first have a look at 'what is niacin?'
Niacin is the common name for nicotinamide (niacinamide) and nicotinic acid. It is also known as Vitamin B3. The amino acid, tryptophan is converted to Niacin during food intake.
Deficiency in Vitamin B3 can lead to pellagra, with symptoms of weakness, dermatitis, appetite loss, diarrhoea, sore mouth, depression, anxiety, and eventually, dementia.
Food with niacin include Tuna, Salmon, Beef, Veal, Lamb, pork Flake, Chicken Peanuts, Bran, Muesli and Nuts.
Niacin and your capillaries
Near the heart you have larger size arteries, as the blood is distributed throughout the body these arteries get smaller and end up in a network of capillaries. These are very small so that blood can only pass through them one cell at a time. They nurture the vast majority of cells throughout the body and also remove cell toxins. If they capillaries are not functioning properly our cells cannot get nourishment or eliminate toxins.
Our body stores toxins in either the fat tissue, muscle tissue or bone tissue. Most toxins are stored in the fat cells. As we exercise or sweat for example these cells start letting go of the toxins releasing them into the capillaries. In most people the cells are full of toxins and cannot be eliminated because there is not enough blood flowing through the capillaries to carry out the toxins quick enough.
Hence it is most important that the capillaries are working well.
What are the effects of Niacin?
Niacin increases the size of the capillaries allowing them to bring more blood to the cells and remove more toxins safely. This is why your skin gets red when you take niacin; it is the increase of blood flow.
Once the cells start to remove toxins they can actually start sending out a call for help. They do this with small amounts of the histamine hormone .
Histamine naturally causes us to feel itchy which gets more water/blood out to the cells calling for help.
Hence getting the itchy feeling and redness of the skin is a very good sign that your body is releasing toxins. The flush increases blood flow and are taking nutrient to areas that need them most as well as reducing the toxic load.
Note that you do not get a flush from niacinamide another form of B3 vitamin that was created to eliminate the ‘side-effects’ of niacin.
